True Cost Calculator

The advertised price is not what you pay. Add shipping, tax, accessories, plans and payment costs to see the estimated total.

Estimated total cost
—

—advertised price
—extra on top
—more than the sticker

Enter the advertised price to begin.

Ask yourself: would you still want it at the total, not the sticker price? If not sure, freeze it for 48 hours.

How it works

The advertised price is only the start. This calculator adds the things that usually come after: shipping, tax, accessories, a protection plan, fees, a monthly subscription, and the cost of paying over time.

Estimated total = price + shipping + tax + accessories + warranty + fees + subscription + payment cost

What is an estimate here

Tax is estimated from the rate you type, applied to the price and accessories. Your real tax may differ. Card interest is a rough figure that assumes you pay the balance down evenly over the months you choose: balance × (rate ÷ 12) × (months + 1) ÷ 2. Your card's real interest depends on its own rules.

Questions

Is this the exact price I will pay?

No. It is an estimate built from the numbers you enter. Check the final total at checkout.

Why include a subscription?

Some products need a monthly plan to be useful. Over a year it can cost more than the product.

Is my information saved?

No. It is calculated in your browser. The copy link button only builds a web address with your numbers, so you can send it to a friend.
