How the draw and dates work
The calculator shuffles the envelopes and lays them out from your start date. With one a day, it takes 100 days. If you pick a finish date with fewer paydays than envelopes, it puts several envelopes on each date, so every payday holds about the same number of envelopes. The amounts still add up to $5,050.
The catch with random envelopes
A random draw means some days ask for $90 or more. Check the schedule for the large ones before you commit, and draw again if too many land close together. If you'd rather a smaller version, the 50 envelope challenge adds up to $1,275.

Questions
How much is the 100 envelope challenge in total?
$5,050. The envelopes hold $1 to $100, one of each. The 50 envelope version adds up to $1,275.
How long does the 100 envelope challenge take?
100 days if you fill one envelope a day. Move the finish date and the plan groups envelopes onto fewer days, for example two or three per payday.
How does the envelope draw work?
The calculator shuffles envelopes 1 to 100 and puts them in order on your dates, so you know in advance what each day costs. Draw again gives a new order. The order stays the same when you come back.
Do I need real envelopes?
No. Many people move the amount into a separate savings account instead and tick the envelope off here. Cash in envelopes at home is easy to borrow from.
