At My Water Filter, we understand how quickly the cost of bottled water can add up not just in dollars, but also in the environmental impact of plastic waste. In our experience talking to customers every day, many share their concerns about the ongoing expense and environmental footprint of consuming bottled water.
That’s why we created the Bottled Water Savings Calculator Tool, a simple yet powerful way to help you see exactly how much bottled water could be costing you each year. Whether you’re an occasional drinker or someone who relies heavily on bottled water, this tool offers a clear snapshot of your annual spend and the amount of plastic waste generated along the way.
All it takes is a few quick details, and you’ll discover how much you could save — and how much you could reduce your environmental impact — simply by switching to a quality water filtration system at home.
How to Use the Bottled Water Savings Calculator
Using the Bottled Water Savings Calculator is designed to be as easy and straightforward as possible. You’ll only need to provide four simple pieces of information:
Australian Postcode: Enter the 4-digit postcode where you live. This helps the calculator adjust for typical bottled water prices in your area.
People in Household: Select or type in the number of people in your household who regularly consume bottled water.
Daily Use per Person: Choose from the dropdown menu how much water each person typically drinks per day. If none of the preset options match your habits, you can select ‘Other’ and type in the specific amount.
Typical Bottle Size Purchased: Choose the bottle size that most closely matches what you usually buy — whether that’s small personal bottles or larger bulk containers.
We designed this tool based on feedback from customers who told us they wanted an easy, quick way to understand the true cost and environmental toll of bottled water consumption.
How the Calculator Works
The Bottled Water Savings Calculator Tool uses national data on bottled water pricing and consumption trends across Australia to provide an accurate estimate tailored to your situation.
Here’s how it works:
Based on your postcode, we assign a regional pricing tier that reflects the average bottled water costs in your location.

Then, using your household size and estimated daily consumption, the tool calculates:
Your estimated annual spend on bottled water, and
The number of plastic bottles you’re likely using each year.
In our experience speaking with customers all over Australia, many are shocked when they realise just how much they’re spending — and how much plastic waste they’re producing — without even noticing.
While everyone's habits are a little different, this tool offers a reliable and insightful starting point. It paints a clear picture of how switching to filtered water at home could significantly lower your yearly costs and reduce your household’s contribution to plastic pollution.
Plus, by investing in a water filtration system, many of our customers tell us they not only save money but also enjoy greater peace of mind, knowing they’re making a positive choice for the environment.
Why It Matters
Australians are increasingly mindful of both their health and the environment. Through countless conversations with our customers, we know that bottled water use is often a "set and forget" habit — easy to overlook until you take a closer look at the numbers.
By using this simple calculator, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of your potential savings and the positive environmental impact you could make by switching to filtered water. It’s one small step that leads to meaningful, lasting change for your budget, your health and our beautiful country.
