35/month broadband, 60 setup, 24-month contract: 35 × 12 + 30/year setup amortised = 450/year effective. Switching every contract when promo ends often 5-10/month cheaper. Fibre 100 Mbps under 30 typical in 2026.
Run it with sensible defaults
Using monthly fee of 35, setup fee of 60, contract length of 24, the calculation works out to 450.00. Nudge the inputs toward your own situation and the output recalculates instantly. The defaults are meant as a starting point, not a recommendation.
The levers in this calculation
The inputs — Monthly Fee, Setup Fee, and Contract Length (months) — do not pull with equal force. 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.
How the math works
Amortise setup over contract. The working is transparent — you can verify every step yourself in the formula section below. No black box, no opaque "proprietary model".
Why run the calculation
Utility bills creep. Small annual increases stack into meaningful differences over a decade. Running this once a year and switching providers when the gap widens is one of the easiest ways to keep household costs in check.
What this doesn't capture
Usage varies month-to-month; tariffs change; discounts come and go. The figure here is a clean baseline — your actual annual bill will fluctuate around it. Use the calculation to benchmark providers, not as a prediction of a specific bill.
Related calculations worth running
Plans get firmer when you triangulate. Alongside this one, the streaming cost calculator, the foreign transaction fee annual calculator, and the home bar vs pub calculator tend to come up in the same conversations. Running two or three together exposes inconsistencies in any single assumption — which is usually where the useful insight lives.
