before subscribing.

01

Normalize every bill. Monthly, annual, quarterly, and weekly prices are converted to the same view.

02

Include the seats. A low starting price can change quickly once a team uses the tool.

03

Keep the data private. The calculation is made locally and is not stored by ToolMerit.

YOUR RECURRING SOFTWARE COSTS

Build the honest
version of the list.

Use the price you are actually paying today. Add optional notes for contracts, renewal dates, or alternatives to review later.

STEP 1

Add your tools

Prices are not converted between currencies. Pick the currency that matches the billing amounts you are entering.

MAKE THE TOTAL USEFUL

The number matters
because it prompts a better question.

Cost alone is not a reason to cancel a tool. It is a useful prompt to decide whether each recurring role is clear, used, and worth maintaining.

01

What job does it own?

Name the one recurring job the tool makes noticeably easier. If nobody can name it, flag the subscription for review.

02

What happens without it?

Compare the subscription with the time, quality, risk, or revenue impact of doing the work another way.

03

When will you revisit it?

Add the renewal month to a simple review list. Cost decisions are easier before a contract quietly renews.

CALCULATOR FAQ

Simple by design.
Useful in practice.

These answers explain exactly what the calculator does and does not include.

How is the monthly cost calculated?+

Each tool’s entered price is multiplied by its number of seats and normalized to a monthly estimate. Annual prices are divided by 12, quarterly prices by 3, and weekly prices are multiplied by 52 then divided by 12.

Does this calculator save my tool list?+

No. The calculator runs in your browser. ToolMerit does not save or receive the names, prices, notes, or totals you enter. Reloading the page starts a fresh list.

Can I use more than one currency?+

Not in one calculation. Choose the currency that matches your bill amounts. The calculator deliberately does not use exchange-rate data, so it cannot safely combine multiple currencies into one total.

Should I include free plans and usage-based pricing?+

Include free plans if you want a complete inventory, using a price of zero. For usage-based services, enter a realistic recent monthly average and add a note to revisit the estimate regularly.
