What a Subscription Calculator Shows You

Streaming, apps, cloud storage, meal kits and memberships are charged automatically, so it is easy to lose track of what they add up to. A $12 charge looks small. Over three years it is $432.

This calculator turns your list of recurring charges into yearly totals. Mark any item as Cancel and the page shows how much you would save over 1, 3 and 5 years. There is no account to create and nothing to connect.

Common Ways to Use It

Review your monthly bills

List every recurring charge you can find, then see what they cost per month and per year before deciding which ones to keep.

Think twice before signing up

Add the new service at its regular price and see what it would cost over three or five years, not just the first month.

Pick which subscriptions to drop

Switch the services you barely use to Cancel and compare the total you keep with the total you free up.

How to Total Up Your Subscriptions and Savings

  1. Select Add subscription for each service you pay for.
  2. Enter the name, the price you are charged, and how often you are charged (monthly, every 3 months, every 6 months or yearly).
  3. Set each service to Keep or Cancel with the toggle button.
  4. Read the dashboard: your current monthly total, the monthly total after cancellations, and the savings after 1, 3 and 5 years.

Note: Your list is saved in this browser automatically, so you can come back and keep adding.

How the Math Works

  • Each price is converted to a yearly cost based on its billing cycle. Monthly figures are the yearly cost divided by 12.
  • Savings equal the yearly cost of every item set to Cancel, multiplied by 1, 3 or 5 years.
  • Taxes are not added, so enter the amount you actually pay. Price increases, prorated refunds and investment returns are not included.
  • Your entries are saved only in this browser's localStorage. They are not synced to other devices.

Monthly Subscription Price Over 1, 3 and 5 Years

A quick reference for what a recurring monthly charge adds up to over time.

These are straight multiplication with no tax, price changes or interest. Use the calculator above for your own mix of plans.

Why Recurring Charges Add Up Faster Than You Expect

A few reasons small automatic payments deserve a regular check.

One cancellation keeps paying off

Cutting back on groceries or gas takes effort every week. Canceling a subscription is one action that lowers your bills every month afterward.

Small charges are easy to overlook

Charges that post automatically rarely feel like a decision. Seeing the yearly and multi-year total next to each service makes it easier to judge whether you still use it.

Work subscriptions need their own check

If you pay for software through a business or as a freelancer, this calculator does not separate personal and business use. Ask your accountant how to treat those costs.

Billing Mistakes That Quietly Cost You Money

A free trial that rolls into a paid plan

You sign up for a free trial with a card, forget to cancel, and the paid plan starts. Many people keep paying for months before they notice.

💡 See the solution▼
Add the service here at its regular price right away and see the multi-year cost. Then set a calendar reminder a few days before the trial ends.

An annual plan you stop using

An annual plan can look cheaper per month, but if you stop using the service after a few months you have still paid for the full year, and refund policies vary by service.

💡 See the solution▼
Enter the plan as Yearly to see the full amount you commit to. Ask whether you will realistically use it for the whole year before choosing it over monthly billing.

The same service billed twice

You subscribed on the company's website, then signed up again through an app store or another account. Now two charges are running for the same service.

💡 See the solution▼
Look through several months of card statements and your app store subscription lists, then enter every charge here. Duplicates show up as two lines with the same name.

Add-ons nobody uses

Device protection plans, extra storage, family plan seats and bundled extras often stay on the bill long after anyone needs them.

💡 See the solution▼
Add each one as its own line, set the unused ones to Cancel, and check the yearly total before you contact the provider.

Subscription Savings FAQ

Q.Is my subscription list sent anywhere?

Q.

A. No. The calculator runs in your browser, and the names and prices you enter are saved only in your browser's localStorage. The tool has no sign-in and no bank or card connection.

Q.Will my list still be there if I close the tab?

Q.

A. Yes. Every change is saved automatically in the browser you are using, so the list is there when you come back. It is not synced between devices, and clearing your browser data or using a private window will remove it.

Q.How are monthly, quarterly, semiannual and annual plans combined?

Q.

A. Each subscription is converted to a yearly cost first: monthly price × 12, quarterly price × 4, semiannual price × 2, annual price × 1. Monthly figures are the yearly cost divided by 12, so plans with different billing cycles can be added together.

Q.How is the savings number calculated?

Q.

A. The calculator adds up the yearly cost of every subscription set to Cancel. That total is your 1-year savings, and it is multiplied by 3 and 5 for the longer periods.

Q.Does it include sales tax, price increases or refunds?

Q.

A. No. It multiplies the price you enter and nothing else. If your bill includes tax, enter the amount you actually pay. Price hikes, prorated refunds and investment returns on the money you save are not modeled.

Q.Can I enter a free trial?

Q.

A. The calculator doesn't track dates, so enter the price you will be charged after the trial ends. Set the item to Cancel if you plan to end it before the first charge, and you will see what it would have cost.
