Compare recurring subscription costs
Enter each recurring price and billing frequency. Weekly prices are multiplied by 52, monthly by 12 and quarterly by four; annual prices remain unchanged. The annual equivalent is divided by 12 for a monthly comparison and by 365 for a daily average. These are planning equivalents, not a schedule of renewal dates or exact leap-year spending.
Marking an item to cancel removes it from active totals and adds its annual equivalent to potential savings. The service remains active until you cancel with its provider. Check your contract, notice period, refund policy and any cancellation charge before treating that amount as available cash.
The five-year total holds current prices constant and excludes interest, future increases and unentered taxes. Enter all charges in one selected currency; changing that label does not convert foreign subscriptions. Keep confirmation when you cancel.

Frequently asked questions
How are different billing cycles compared?
The annual equivalent is the price multiplied by 52 for weekly, 12 for monthly or 4 for quarterly billing. Yearly prices stay unchanged. Monthly and daily averages divide the annual equivalent by 12 and 365.
Does marking a service cancel end my subscription?
No. It only previews potential savings. Cancel directly with the provider, check notice periods and fees, and keep a confirmation. Annual prepaid charges may not be refundable.
Is the five-year figure a forecast?
It is five times the active annual equivalent at unchanged prices. It excludes price increases, taxes not entered, refunds, discounts and investment returns. Actual weekly billing calendars can contain 53 charges.
