How this is worked out

Food prices are the primary-market RETAIL prices from the Central Bank's Daily Price Report, fetched live. Pettah for vegetables, rice and other items; Peliyagoda for fish. Your market may differ — that is why every quantity is editable.

Quantities are planning assumptions for the household size above (for example 7 kg of samba a week for four people), not survey data. Change any line to match your household; edited lines stay as you set them when you change household size.

A month is a week × 4.33. Monthly bills are added exactly as you type them. If the price feed cannot be reached, the page says so and shows no food total — it never pretends an old price is today's.
