📺 Streaming Cost Calculator
List every streaming service you subscribe to and see your real monthly spend — plus what it adds up to over a year.
💸 Total Your Subscriptions
What is a Streaming Cost Calculator?
It turns a pile of separate subscriptions into one honest number. Streaming services are designed to feel cheap on their own, so most cord-cutters end up paying for four, five, or more without ever seeing the combined total. Enter each monthly price and the calculator sums them, then shows the annual cost so you can judge whether the stack is worth it.
Use it to audit your spending, decide which services to rotate or cancel, and confirm that cutting cable actually saved you money. The result reflects the prices you enter — verify current rates with each provider, since streaming prices change often.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How does the streaming cost calculator work?
Enter the monthly price of each streaming service you pay for — Netflix, Disney+, Max, Hulu, YouTube TV, and so on — and the calculator adds them into a single monthly total, then multiplies by twelve to show the annual figure. It's the fastest way to see the true size of a streaming stack that grew one subscription at a time.
Why does my streaming bill feel higher than I expected?
Subscription creep is real: services are cheap individually, so it's easy to add a fourth or fifth without noticing. Prices also rise steadily and ad-free tiers cost more, so a stack that started at $30 can quietly pass $80. Totaling everything in one place is usually a wake-up call.
How can I lower my monthly streaming costs?
Rotate rather than stockpile — subscribe to one or two services at a time, binge what you want, then cancel and move to the next. Consider ad-supported tiers, annual plans that discount the monthly rate, and bundles when you'd genuinely use every service. A free over-the-air antenna also covers live local channels at no monthly cost.
Are these totals exact?
They reflect the prices you enter, so they're only as current as your figures. Streaming prices change often, and taxes or add-ons (extra screens, premium channels) can nudge the real total higher — treat the result as a close planning estimate and re-check periodically.
