Subscription Renewal Calculator
What a subscription really costs after the first year.
Free. Runs in your browser: nothing you enter or open is uploaded.
Payments are counted in the year they are charged. A yearly plan is paid in advance, so its whole renewal falls in the year it renews. Prices you enter stay on your device.
How to use it
- Enter what you pay for the first term, how long that term lasts, and the renewal price from the plan terms or your account page.
- Choose how many years to compare. Add up to two more plans to see them side by side.
- Read the year by year costs, the total and how much the price rises at renewal.
Questions
Where do I find the renewal price?
Usually in small print near the checkout button, in the terms of the offer, or in your account under billing or subscription. Many services also email a reminder before they renew.
Why is the first year so much cheaper?
Many subscriptions, especially antivirus, VPN and web hosting, sell the first term at a discount and renew automatically at the full price. The difference can be large, so compare the total over several years rather than the first payment.
Can I avoid paying the full renewal price?
Often. Turn off automatic renewal and see whether the service offers a discount to stay, contact support before the renewal date, or compare other providers. Check any refund window: some services refund a renewal if you ask within a set number of days.
