How Much Money Can You Save Using a Bidet? (Breakdown by Year)

Toilet paper is one of those expenses that feels small until you add it up. Most households spend $70 to $400 a year on it depending on family size. Over five years that's real money — and it's gone forever.

A bidet changes that math completely.

What You're Spending on Toilet Paper

Single person: $70–$100 per year
Two people: $140–$200 per year
Family of four: $280–$400 per year

These numbers assume mid-range brands. Premium toilet paper pushes them higher.

What a Bidet Costs

Basic non-electric attachment: $30–$80 — installs in 10 minutes, no plumber
Electric bidet seat (warm water, heated seat, air dry): $300–$1,300
Smart toilet with built-in bidet: $1,000+

For most people starting out, a $50–$80 attachment is all you need.

The 5-Year Breakdown (Family of Four)

Year 1: Toilet paper $280–$400 vs. bidet $60 ($50 attachment + $10 water). You're already ahead.
Year 2: Toilet paper $280–$400 vs. bidet $10 (just water). Gap widens.
Years 3–5: Same story. Toilet paper keeps costing money. Bidet doesn't.

Total toilet paper over 5 years: $1,400–$2,000
Total bidet cost over 5 years: ~$100

That's up to $1,900 in savings from a $50 purchase.

The Bonus Savings Nobody Mentions

Toilet paper clogs pipes. The average plumber visit costs $150–$300. Bidets eliminate most of the paper going down your drain — fewer clogs, fewer emergency calls.

The Environmental Side

The average American uses 141 rolls of toilet paper per year. Each roll takes about 37 gallons of water to manufacture. A bidet uses one-eighth of a gallon per use.

You save money and reduce your environmental footprint at the same time. Not many purchases do both.
