Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about tracking your subscription costs.
- How do I calculate my total subscription spending?
- Add each subscription with its price and billing cycle — weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. The calculator converts everything to a monthly and yearly total so you see your true spend at a glance.
- Is this subscription cost calculator free?
- Yes. The calculator is completely free and runs in your browser. No account, no credit card, and no data is sent to our servers.
- Do I need an account to use the calculator?
- No. You can add subscriptions and see your totals immediately. If you want to save them, get renewal reminders, or export a report, you can sign up for subscriptions.my afterward.
- What billing cycles does the calculator support?
- Weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly billing. Enter the price you actually pay for each cycle and the tool normalizes it to monthly and yearly equivalents.
- Can I see my spending broken down by category?
- Yes. Assign a category to each subscription — streaming, software, fitness, and more — and the calculator shows how much each group costs per month and per year.
- How is yearly cost calculated from monthly subscriptions?
- A monthly subscription is multiplied by twelve. Weekly subscriptions are converted using fifty-two weeks per year. Quarterly plans are multiplied by four. Yearly plans count as-is.
