About this calculator
Subscriptions silently drain budgets. Cancel one $15/mo service for 24 months = $360 saved, or $390 if invested at 7%. Cancel three: ~$1100 over 2 years. Most people have 5-10 active subscriptions they don't use. Audit your bank statement quarterly. Common forgotten subs: gym ($30-100/mo), streaming services ($10-15 each), software (Photoshop $20-30, etc.), magazines, app subscriptions.
