Medication cost calculator
See what a medication really costs per dose and per year. Then see what a reminder app costs over time if you pay monthly or once.

Prices change and differ by country. This adds up what you enter and does not include price rises or currency changes.
Arithmetic only, not medical advice. Your doctor or pharmacist sets your doses.
How it works
Pack price divided by units in the pack gives the cost of one unit. Times units per dose gives the cost of a dose, and times doses per day gives the daily cost. A year is 365 days and a month is a twelfth of that.
For apps, a monthly subscription is counted twelve times a year. A one-time price is counted once, whatever the number of years.
