Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know.

What does an example Subscription Audit Calculator calculation look like?
Using this calculator's own default assumptions, a monthly subscription total of $180, unused or low-value share of 35% and annual subscription charges of $240 produces an estimated estimated low-value spend of $840 and total annual subscription cost of $2,400. Enter your own numbers above to see how it changes for your situation.
How do I estimate my unused or low-value share?
Review your bank and credit card statements from the past few months to identify subscriptions you've forgotten about or rarely use. That total divided by your monthly spending gives you the percentage. If you're unsure, start conservative. You can always adjust once you've audited your actual accounts.
Why does the calculator use a cancellation success rate?
Identifying unused subscriptions and actually cancelling them are different things. Some people restart services later, face friction in the cancellation process, or change their minds about a service's value. The success rate reflects what you realistically expect to follow through on, so your savings estimate accounts for the gap between intention and action.
Is the Subscription Audit Calculator free to use?
Yes. SwitchWize calculators are free, and you do not need an account to run scenarios or view the result.
Does using the Subscription Audit Calculator affect my credit score?
No. Using a calculator does not trigger a credit check. A credit impact can occur only if you apply directly with a lender, card issuer, or provider.
Are the results personalized financial advice?
No. Calculator outputs are educational estimates based on the inputs you enter. Review assumptions and confirm terms directly with providers before making a financial decision.
What should I do after seeing the result?
Use the recommendation module on this page to plan your next move, or run Money Map to compare this banking & savings decision with your other opportunities.
How does SwitchWize choose related offers?
Related offers are matched by the calculator surface (money map) and ranked using SwitchWize data such as rate, fees, trust signals, product fit, and switching friction. Paid relationships do not change organic ranking order.
How fresh are the rates and offers shown?
Rate and offer data is reviewed on a recurring cadence and every offer module shows review context or links to the methodology and disclosure pages.
Where can I see the ranking methodology?
The SwitchWize methodology page explains how rate freshness, editorial review, affiliate disclosure, and category ranking factors work.
Can Money Map use this result?
Yes. Money Map is the broader diagnostic path: it compares savings, mortgage, cards, and debt so you can see whether this calculator result is your highest-impact next move.

Why This Matters

Subscription services renew automatically, so small monthly charges compound into significant annual leakage without active attention. This calculator reveals the true cost of low-value subscriptions and helps you prioritize which cancellations will have the biggest impact on your cash flow. By quantifying both the problem and the potential recovery, you can make data-driven decisions about which services to keep.

How to Use It

  1. 1Enter your total monthly subscription spending across all active services.
  2. 2Estimate what percentage of that spending goes to unused or rarely-used subscriptions.
  3. 3Input any annual subscription charges (like yearly plans) that you pay separately.
  4. 4Set your realistic cancellation success rate: the percentage of identified low-value services you're confident you'll actually cancel.
  5. 5Review your total annual cost, estimated low-value spend, realistic annual savings, and the monthly savings equivalent to see the impact of following through on cancellations.
