In detail: Takeaway Spending Calculator for £40/week

£40.00/week on takeaways compounds to £2,080/year — a figure that often lands harder than the weekly cost. Over 10 years that's £20,800, which at a modest 5% invested return would have grown to roughly £27,040.

At this level, takeaway spending is roughly 2–3 meals a week. A single meal-prep session on Sunday typically replaces 3–4 of these at ~30% of the cost — worth experimenting with if you haven't.

Note: this calculation doesn't include tip, delivery fees, or service charges — which on app-based orders often add another 20–30% to the base price.
