35 streaming + 20 software + 40 gym + 25 other = 120/month — 1,440/year in recurring subscriptions. Most people underestimate by 30-50%. An audit typically finds 300-500/year of quietly-unused subscriptions to cut. Annual view forces the honesty.
Quick example
With streaming services of 35 and software subscriptions of 20 (plus gym/wellness of 40 and other subscriptions of 25), the result is 1,440.00. Change any figure and watch the output shift — it's often more useful to see the pattern than to memorise the formula.
Which inputs matter most
You enter Streaming Services, Software Subscriptions, Gym/Wellness, and Other Subscriptions. Frequency and unit price pull the total in different directions. The biggest surprise for most people is how small recurring amounts compound into large annual figures — that's where this calculation earns its keep.
What's happening under the hood
Sum of monthly subscriptions × 12. The formula is listed in full below. If the number looks off, you can retrace the calculation by hand — that's the point of showing the working.
Why a budget needs to be specific
Budgets fail when they're built from ideals instead of actuals. Track what you actually spend for a month before fixing the plan — categories like "eating out" and "subscriptions" are reliably 30–50% higher than people's first estimate.
What this doesn't capture
Budgets are snapshots of intent. Real spending includes irregular costs: birthdays, one-off repairs, the occasional bad week. Tracking actual spending for a month before fixing any budget usually reveals 10–20% that didn't make the original plan.
Where to go next
This calculation rarely sits alone in a planning exercise. If you're running these numbers, you'll probably also want the software subscription calculator, the subscription audit calculator, and the gift annual spend calculator — each one answers a different question in the same territory. Treating them as a set rather than in isolation usually produces a more honest picture.
