How Much Do You Pay Per Nappy?

When it comes to raising a baby, every dollar counts, and one of the sneaky, ongoing costs that adds up quickly is nappies. But have you ever stopped to calculate how much you're actually paying per nappy?

Understanding the cost per nappy can help you make smarter shopping decisions and save serious money over time.

What Is the Average Cost Per Nappy in Australia?

Prices vary depending on the brand, size, and where you shop, but here's a rough idea:

Brand Price Per Nappy (Size 4)
Premium Brands $0.50 – $0.65
Mid-Range Brands $0.38 – $0.50
Budget Brands $0.28 – $0.35
HLC Super Saver $0.30 or less

Note: Prices are based on multi-pack or bulk pricing and may vary by retailer.

Why Cost Per Nappy Matters

Your baby will go through an average of 6–10 nappies per day! Below is what that looks like at different price points:

  • At $0.65 per nappy: $1,950 per year
  • At $0.30 per nappy: $900 per year

That’s a difference of over $1,000 just by switching to a more affordable nappy without compromising on quality.

How to Calculate Cost Per Nappy

Price of Pack ÷ Number of Nappies = Cost Per Nappy

Example:
A box that costs $29.99 with 100 nappies = $0.30 per nappy.

Tip: Don’t get tricked by "unit pricing" on small packs - buying in bulk often cuts your cost significantly.
