How It Works

Streaming spend is death by a thousand small charges, and adding every service together is the only way to see the monthly and annual total clearly. By 2026, the typical household is projected to carry 4-5 subscriptions at once, which makes the running tab genuinely hard to track in your head. Seeing the full figure is what lets you budget around it and spot the services quietly draining money in a market where new options launch constantly.

The logic is pure summation. Each monthly service cost you enter is added to the rest to produce a Total Monthly Cost, and that figure is multiplied by 12 for an Annual Cost. Written out, it reads as Sum(Monthly Cost of Service 1, Monthly Cost of Service 2, ..., Monthly Cost of Service N) = Total Monthly Cost; Total Monthly Cost * 12 = Total Annual Cost.

Include every subscription, even the ones you share with family or only fire up now and then, because partial use still costs full price. Annual plans billed once upfront are the easy thing to miss, so convert them to an effective monthly rate before entering them, as a $120 annual plan works out to $10/month. Finally, when an introductory promotion is set to expire, enter the regular non-discounted rate so your long-term picture stays honest.

Example: The Entertainment Enthusiast's Budget

  1. 1 Let's say Sarah has Netflix Premium at $22.99/month, Hulu (ad-free) at $17.99/month, Disney+ at $14.99/month, HBO Max at $19.99/month, and Apple TV+ at $9.99/month.
  2. 2 The calculator adds these up: $22.99 + $17.99 + $14.99 + $19.99 + $9.99 = $85.95 (Total Monthly Cost). Then, $85.95 * 12 = $1031.40 (Total Annual Cost).
  3. 3 Sarah's total monthly streaming bill is $85.95, amounting to an annual expenditure of $1031.40.
  4. 4 This example shows that even with seemingly affordable individual services, the cumulative cost can be significant. Sarah can now assess if this expenditure aligns with her budget and viewing habits, perhaps considering rotating subscriptions or opting for ad-supported tiers to save money.
