PNC Bank does an annual study on how much it would cost to buy everything from the song.
The answer this year is $45,523, up 10.5%. Or if you bought the items over and over each day like the song suggests, that's 364 total gifts, and over $197,000.
Here's a breakdown of how much it would cost to buy or hire all 12 things . . .
Twelve drummers drumming . . . $3,267 to hire them.
Eleven pipers piping . . . $3,021.
Ten lords-a-leaping . . . $13,980. It's the most expensive gift on the list. It's based on how much it would cost to hire ten dancers from the Philadelphia ballet.
Nine ladies dancing . . . $8,308. Based on hiring nine women from a modern dance company in Philly.
Eight maids-a-milking . . . $58. Weird gift, but the cheapest on the list. That's eight women milking cows for an hour at the federal minimum wage of $7.25.
