  • The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax or fees or charges into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
  • Figures are estimates for planning only. Prices, returns, inflation and personal circumstances all change. This is not financial or tax advice — speak to a qualified adviser before making decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why annualise subscriptions?

Because a service costing a few hundred a month is several thousand a year — a scale at which cancelling becomes worth considering.

Do bills really rise every year?

Utilities and insurance typically do. Subscriptions often rise after an introductory period, which is easy to miss.
