How It Works
How Streaming Costs Add Up
Individual streaming services seem affordable, but multiple subscriptions can total hundreds per year.
Formula
Monthly Total = Sum of All Service Costs
Annual Total = Monthly Total x 12
Worked Example
Four streaming services at $15.49, $9.99, $7.99, and $5.99/month.
service_1 = 15.49service_2 = 9.99service_3 = 7.99service_4 = 5.99
- 01Monthly total = $15.49 + $9.99 + $7.99 + $5.99 = $39.46
- 02Annual total = $39.46 x 12 = $473.52
- 03Daily cost = $39.46 / 30 = $1.32
