Household Subscription Cost Calculator

Different billing cycles make recurring services look cheaper or harder to compare than they are. This tool normalizes the list.

Inputs

For each service:

  • name;
  • cost;
  • billing frequency: weekly, monthly, quarterly, every six months, annual, custom;
  • optional category;
  • optional household owner.

Output

Show:

  • normalized monthly total;
  • annual total;
  • total by category;
  • top five annualized costs;
  • number of services.

Privacy behavior

All calculations happen client-side. Do not send service names or amounts to analytics.

Useful interpretation

Avoid judgmental copy such as “you are wasting $X.” Instead say: “This list gives the household one place to decide which services are still useful.”

Export

Allow CSV/print and Save selected subscriptions to FamilyBoard.

CTA: Find the annual total, then add renewal dates for the services you would want to review before the next charge.
