How we calculate annual price vs 12 monthly payments
Numbers are calculated from our own dated price checks; each row links to the plan page with its history and source quote. Prices are in the currency shown on the source page, so tables are split by currency.
Monthly billing per year = the monthly price × 12. Annual billing per year = the annual price, or its stated monthly equivalent × 12. Saving = the difference, and the percentage is that difference divided by the monthly-billing total. A pair is the same service and plan on the same page with the two billing periods; promotional prices are not paired.
Prices are the ones shown on the source page at our latest check, in the currency of that page, without currency conversion. We do not add taxes, setup fees, add-ons or coupons.
Money is calculated with exact decimals and rounded to cents only for display. The median is the middle value of the rows in one table (the mean of the two middle values for an even count).
A plan is listed when the same service and plan are measured with both monthly and annual billing; rows are sorted by the saving. The order never depends on any commercial relationship.
