How to Use This Subscription Audit Calculator
This calculator audits every recurring subscription and totals monthly cost, flagging “rarely used” and “forgot I had it” categories to surface easy savings.
How It’s Calculated
It’s a simple sum of all recurring subscription costs, categorized by usage frequency, with an annualized total to show the full-year impact of “small” monthly charges.
Example
Five forgotten or rarely-used subscriptions at $12 to $20 per month each can quietly total $70 to $100 per month, or $840 to $1,200 per year — money leaving an account with essentially no corresponding value received.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the average person spend on subscriptions?
Estimates vary, but many people underestimate their true subscription total by a significant margin, because individual charges are small and spread across different billing dates.
What counts as a “subscription” for this audit?
Streaming, software, memberships, apps, and any other automatically recurring charge, even small ones, since the goal is to capture the full recurring drain, not just the obvious big ones.
How often should I audit my subscriptions?
Every three to six months is a reasonable cadence, since free trials silently convert to paid and usage patterns shift over time.
