About the Subscription Cost Audit Calculator

Lists every recurring subscription you pay for, normalizes each to a monthly-equivalent cost regardless of its billing cycle, and totals your true monthly and annual subscription spend, the everyday 'subscription creep' most people underestimate.

How to use it
  1. Add a row for each subscription, with its name, cost, and billing frequency.
  2. Add or remove rows as needed.
  3. Read your true monthly and annual totals — already normalized so annual and quarterly plans compare fairly against monthly ones.
Formula
Monthly-equivalent cost = billed cost ÷ months in that billing cycle (1 for monthly, 3 for quarterly, 12 for annual). Total monthly spend = sum of every subscription's monthly-equivalent cost. Total annual spend = total monthly spend × 12.
Worked example

A $99.99/year cloud storage plan works out to $8.33/mo; add a $15.49/mo streaming plan and a $29.99/quarter app subscription ($10.00/mo), and your true monthly total is $33.82 — $405.84/year.

Interpreting your result

This only totals what you enter — it can't discover subscriptions on your bank or card statement for you. It also doesn't judge which subscriptions are worth keeping.

Recommendations
  • Check a recent bank or credit-card statement for recurring charges before you start.
  • Annual plans are usually cheaper per month than paying monthly, but they hide the cost better.
  • Revisit this every few months — free trials that quietly convert to paid are a common way subscription costs creep up.
Frequently asked questions
The monthly-equivalent figure divides your billed cost by 12 (or 3 for quarterly) so every subscription compares on the same footing.
