Notes
- If the plan is month-to-month, set the contract length to 1 for a simple monthly estimate.
- Update the typical evening speed with the real figure advertised by the retailer for your chosen speed tier.
- Included data can be left at 0 for unlimited plans; the calculator will focus on Mbps value instead.
How should you use the results?
Start with the effective monthly cost, then compare the cost per Mbps across similar speed tiers. This helps separate a genuine value plan from a cheap-looking promo that becomes expensive after the first few months.
If your household streams, games, or works from home, use the calculator alongside your target speed tier rather than price alone. A slightly higher monthly fee may deliver better value when evening speeds are stronger.

FAQ
Internet calculator questions
How is the effective monthly cost calculated?
We add the total you pay over the contract (promo months, ongoing months, setup, and modem fees) and then divide by the contract length. This reveals what the plan really costs each month once promos expire.
What if my plan is month-to-month?
Set the contract length to 1 month. The calculator will skip promo maths and simply display the monthly fee plus any upfront costs.
How do I compare unlimited data plans?
Leave the included data at 0 so the calculator focuses on Mbps value. For data-capped plans, enter the limit to see the cost per 100GB.
