More in Daily Frugality
What this calculator does
Divide your remaining SNAP balance by the days left in the month to get a daily spending limit.
The math
Days left = days in month − current day. Daily limit = remaining balance ÷ days left.
Worked example
With $250 left on day 15 of a 30-day month, your daily limit is $16.67.
