A great many sellers do not bill monthly. They bill every four weeks, or every eleven, or per twelve-week course, and then advertise the result as a monthly price. These three calculators do the arithmetic that turns what a seller charges into what a month costs.
They use the same average month — 30.4375 days — and the same function as the price index, so a figure you work out here and a figure in the table cannot disagree.
- Billing more than they advertise
- 100
- Quoting a starting dose only
- 127
- Charging a fee beside the medication
- 11
- Your dose in unitsYour prescription is in milligrams and your syringe is marked in units. Enter the concentration printed on your own vial and see the mark, with the arithmetic shown — because two vials of the same dose can be two different marks.
- True monthly costEnter what a seller actually bills and how often it lands. Get the real cost of a calendar month, a year of it, and — if they advertise a monthly figure — exactly how far that figure sits from what they charge.
- What a course costsA monthly cost and a number of months, run out to a running total. If the seller's price climbs month by month, enter the ladder and it totals the ladder instead of multiplying the first figure.
- Compare two sellersTwo charges, two billing cycles, both restated as a calendar month. Which one is cheaper per month, and what the difference comes to over twelve.
