How It Works

Streaming spend is death by a thousand small charges, and adding every service together is the only way to see the monthly and annual total clearly. Deloitte's 2026 Digital Media Trends survey found that 90% of US households pay for at least one streaming video service, and four on average, which makes the running tab genuinely hard to track in your head. Seeing the full figure is what lets you budget around it and spot the services quietly draining money in a market where new options launch constantly.

The logic is pure summation. You tick the services you pay for from a list of ten, each carrying a built-in monthly price; the selected prices are added to produce a Total Monthly Cost, which is multiplied by 12 for an Annual Cost and divided by 30 for a per-day figure. Written out, it reads as Sum(Monthly Cost of Service 1, Monthly Cost of Service 2, ..., Monthly Cost of Service N) = Total Monthly Cost; Total Monthly Cost * 12 = Total Annual Cost.

Include every subscription, even the ones you share with family or only fire up now and then, because partial use still costs full price. Providers change prices often and sell ad-supported tiers, annual plans and bundles, so compare each built-in price with your own bill. An annual plan lowers the monthly cost: HBO Max Standard is $184.99 a year, or $15.42 a month, against $18.49 billed monthly (HBO Max help center, September 2026).

Example: The Entertainment Enthusiast's Budget

  1. 1 Sarah pays for Netflix Standard ($19.99/month), HBO Max Standard ($18.49), Apple TV ($14.99), Peacock Premium ($12.99) and Spotify Premium Individual ($12.99). These are the US list prices on each provider's own page in September 2026.
  2. 2 Adding them up: $19.99 + $18.49 + $14.99 + $12.99 + $12.99 = $79.45 a month (Total Monthly Cost). Annual: $79.45 × 12 = $953.40. Per day: $79.45 ÷ 30 = $2.65.
  3. 3 Sarah's streaming bill is $79.45 a month, or $953.40 a year. If a built-in price in the calculator differs from what she is charged, her own bill is the number to go by.
  4. 4 Even with seemingly affordable individual services, the cumulative cost adds up. Switching Netflix to Standard with ads ($8.99) alone would save $11 a month, or $132 a year, and rotating services she watches only occasionally would save more.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Americans spend on streaming services per month?
Deloitte's 2026 Digital Media Trends survey (3,575 US consumers, October-November 2025) found that 90% of US households pay for at least one streaming video service and hold four on average. Subscribers who described themselves as fans spent $71 a month on about four services; other subscribers spent $56 on about three. Internet service comes on top of that.
Which streaming service has the best value?
Value depends on your viewing habits. Netflix's US plans run from $8.99 a month (Standard with ads) to $26.99 (Premium), and YouTube Premium, which includes ad-free YouTube Music, is $15.99 a month for an individual (providers' price pages, September 2026).
How much would I save by canceling all streaming services?
If you subscribe to 5 services averaging $15 each, you spend $75/month or $900/year. Even cutting 2-3 underused services saves $360-$540 annually. Rotate services monthly to watch specific shows without paying for all at once.
