What your subscriptions add up to
Subscriptions start one at a time, on different days, from different accounts, and the only place they ever appear together is a bank statement nobody reads line by line. This page asks you for one number before you look, then walks you through the categories one at a time so the list can be longer than the guess.
How it works
- 1Write down what you think you spend in a month, before you look anything up
- 2Go through the categories and add what you pay, marking anything billed yearly
- 3See the guess, the list, the difference, and what the list comes to over twelve months

Why the guess and the list rarely match
In a 2022 survey of 1,000 consumers, the amount people first estimated they spent each month on subscriptions averaged $86. When the same people were asked category by category, the average came to $219.

West Monroe asked 2,500 consumers to guess in June 2021 and found 66 percent were off by more than $200, against 24 percent when the firm ran the same exercise in 2018.
