Formula and methodology
Formula: Plan total = (monthly service + device payment + recurring add-ons) × months + one-time fees.
A phone plan can look cheaper when service price is shown without the device or recurring add-ons. This calculator puts the visitor-entered recurring and one-time charges on the same comparison horizon and leaves provider-specific usage rules visible as an external review step.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Plan A monthly service — currency/month; minimum 0; maximum 1000000
- Plan A monthly device payment — currency/month; minimum 0; maximum 1000000
- Plan A monthly add-ons and fees — currency/month; minimum 0; maximum 1000000
- Plan A one-time fees — currency; minimum 0; maximum 1000000000
- Plan B monthly service — currency/month; minimum 0; maximum 1000000
- Plan B monthly device payment — currency/month; minimum 0; maximum 1000000
- Plan B monthly add-ons and fees — currency/month; minimum 0; maximum 1000000
- Plan B one-time fees — currency; minimum 0; maximum 1000000000
- Comparison period — months; minimum 1; maximum 120
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Plan A monthly service | 45 |
| Plan A monthly device payment | 20 |
| Plan A monthly add-ons and fees | 5 |
| Plan A one-time fees | 30 |
| Plan B monthly service | 55 |
| Plan B monthly device payment | 10 |
| Plan B monthly add-ons and fees | 8 |
| Plan B one-time fees | 0 |
| Comparison period | 12 |
Plan A totals 870; Plan B totals 876; Plan A is lower by 6 in the entered currency.
Assumptions and limits
- Every recurring charge is expressed in the same currency and billing month.
- One-time fees are charged once at the beginning of the comparison period.
- The selected period is long enough to represent the decision being compared, but does not assume a contract length.
- Taxes, roaming, data overages, coverage, promotions, early-termination fees, and usage value are not guessed; enter applicable recurring fees explicitly or review them separately.
