- Subscription 1 / month
- 18.99
- Subscription 2 / month

- Subscription 3 / month
- 11.99
- Subscription 4 / month
- 8.99

How to read the result
- Cancel the services you forgot you had. Then review overlapping services that solve the same problem.
- Keep a subscription when you use it enough to justify the annual cost. Cheap but unused is still wasted money.
Edge cases worth checking
The price is billed yearly
Divide the yearly charge by 12 before entering it. This keeps every service on the same basis.
The price changes after a trial
Enter the normal price, not the introductory price. The ongoing cost is what matters.

Common mistakes
Check subscription 1 / month
Prices do not change during the year. Make sure this matches the number you enter.
Keep subscription 5 / month consistent
Annual-only plans can be entered as monthly price ÷ 12. Use the same units and time period throughout the calculation.
Do not rely on one subscription annual cost scenario
Run a cautious case and an optimistic case. The range is often more useful than one exact-looking number.
