How this calculation works

Each current amount is multiplied by its annual frequency: weekly × 52, every two weeks × 26, twice a month × 24, monthly × 12, quarterly × 4, or annually × 1.

Keep uses the current charge. Stop sets the planned annualized charge to zero. Change uses your new amount and frequency. Monthly equivalents divide the exact annual total by 12; totals are rounded only for display.

Annualized cost = amount × charges per year Average monthly equivalent = exact annual total ÷ 12

A worked example

Hypothetical: $10 every two weeks has an annualized cost of $260 and a monthly equivalent of $21.67. The same $10 twice a month is $240 a year. These are different billing frequencies.

What this estimate does not include

  • Not a calendar of actual bill dates. Weekly and biweekly counts are annualization conventions.
  • Stopping renewal does not remove a contractual obligation, refund a prepayment, or cancel a subscription.
  • Taxes, fees, future price changes, credits, and cancellation terms are included only if reflected in your inputs.
