A positive number is a reason to investigate, not a guarantee

The calculator compares the current published membership price with value you enter. Amazon still decides eligibility, trial availability, taxes and billing. Your inputs decide the estimate.

Annual value minus annual membership cost

(planned orders x savings per order x 12)+((streaming savings + other savings) x 12)-membership cost
