Subscription services almost always price annual plans at a discount compared to paying monthly, but the exact savings — and whether committing to a full year makes financial sense — isn't always obvious from the marketing page alone.
Enter the monthly price and the annual price, and this calculator shows exactly how much you'd pay over a year at the monthly rate, how much the annual plan saves in total, the percentage discount, and what the annual plan effectively costs per month.
This is useful both for consumers deciding between plan options and for businesses setting their own annual pricing discount to make sure it's attractive enough to encourage upgrades without giving away more margin than intended.

Frequently asked questions
What's a typical annual discount percentage?
Many SaaS and subscription services offer somewhere between 15-25% off when paying annually versus monthly, though this varies widely by industry and company.
Does this account for the upfront cost of committing to a full year?
No, this compares pure dollar cost only; the value of monthly flexibility versus locking in savings is a separate consideration based on your own certainty about continued use.
