True monthly cost calculator

Advertised prices hide step-ups, labs, and the medication itself. Enter what a program actually charges and see your real average monthly cost over six months.

First-month price ($) The advertised "from" price — often only month 1.

Ongoing monthly price ($) What months 2+ cost. Check the fine print — this is where step-ups hide.

Medication cost per month, if not included ($) Many "program" fees exclude the drug itself. 0 if included.

One-time extras ($) Intake fee, required lab work, shipping. Total across 6 months.

$140.67/mo

Real average over 6 months — vs. the advertised first-month price.

How to use this number. Compare the six-month average — not the advertised price — across programs. Our cost-transparency scoring penalizes providers whose advertised and real prices diverge.
