How to track your subscriptions for free and see what they really cost

Updated 2026-11-02 · Planners and templates · by CyberMax

Short answer

Write down each subscription with its price, how often it charges and the next renewal date. Convert everything to a monthly figure (weekly x 52 / 12, quarterly / 3, yearly / 12), add them up, and multiply by 12 for the yearly cost. Put each renewal (and every free-trial end date) in your calendar with a reminder a few days before.

Copy-paste code

Monthly cost of any subscription (B = price, C = billing cycle)

Weekly:     =B2*52/12      $2.99/week  -> $12.96/month
Monthly:    =B2            $15.49/month -> $15.49/month
Quarterly:  =B2/3          $30/quarter -> $10.00/month
Yearly:     =B2/12         $99.99/year -> $8.33/month

Yearly cost of everything: =SUM(monthly column)*12
Savings if you cancel some: =SUMIF(review, "cancel", monthly)*12

Good to know

Bank statements and app-store subscription lists (Settings on iPhone, Google Play > Payments & subscriptions) help you find ones you forgot.

Questions

Free trials?

Track the trial end date, not the first charge date, and set the reminder a few days before it.

Do I need to connect my bank?

No. Typing each subscription once is enough; Renewick never asks for a bank login.
