Estimate how much you spend on streaming subscriptions each month and year, including optional price increases and tax.

Your Details

Overview

This streaming subscription cost calculator estimates how much you spend across your streaming services each month and year. Enter the number of services, the average monthly price, any bundle or sharing discount, and an optional tax or price increase to see your current and projected costs.

How it works

The calculator multiplies the number of services by the average monthly price to estimate your base monthly cost. It then subtracts any monthly discount, applies the tax rate, and converts the monthly total into an annual figure by multiplying by 12. If you enter an expected annual price increase, it also estimates what your monthly and annual cost could look like next year.
