Choose matching billing periods
All recurring amounts must use the same period: calendar months or four-week cycles. Enter the number of periods at the introductory rate and the total periods to compare. An average per period is not a payment schedule.
Include every required charge
Put charges already included in the package into the introductory and renewal amounts. Use the extra-fees field only for additional recurring costs, avoiding double counting. Enter zero only when no extra charge is confirmed. Blank inputs leave the total unknown.
What the comparison assumes
The tool assumes fixed introductory and renewal rates, continuous enrollment and one-time charges applied once. It does not predict clinical changes, coverage, refunds or the amount due on a prepaid plan. No entries are saved or sent to Analytics.
