Add up all your monthly subscriptions and see the total annual cost
Review your subscriptions regularly. Studies show the average person pays for 3-4 subscriptions they rarely use. Cutting just one unused subscription saves you — per year.
The average American spends $219 per month on subscription services — that's over $2,600 per year. Many people underestimate their subscription spending by 2-3x because these small, automatic charges fly under the radar.
Common subscriptions include streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+), music (Spotify, Apple Music), cloud storage (iCloud, Google One), productivity tools (Microsoft 365, Adobe), fitness (gym memberships, Peloton), and food delivery (DoorDash, UberEats passes).
A good practice is to audit your subscriptions every quarter. Cancel anything you haven't used in the past 30 days. Even cutting 2-3 unused subscriptions can save you $500-$1,000 per year.
