Do the math before you subscribe
Membership fees are easy to feel and hard to count. These calculators turn the decision into arithmetic you can argue with: your order pattern, your streaming, your grocery habits, against Amazon's published plan prices.
Two questions, one answer each
1. Is the membership worth it for me? Break-even between the fee and what you would actually use. Run the membership math →
2. Is the rewards card worth it — and does it change question 1? The top 5% rate requires an eligible membership, so the card decision and the membership decision are the same decision. Run the card math →
New members can try the membership free for 30 days days. After the trial, it renews at $14.99/month unless you cancel.

How these numbers work
Every price, rate and threshold on this site comes from a source we read ourselves, and each one carries the date we read it. They were last checked on 2026-10-03. The method page lists all of them, with links, so you can check our work instead of trusting it.
Two things we deliberately do not do:
- We show no product prices. We have no price feed, so displaying item prices would mean publishing numbers we cannot verify minute to minute.
- We have no price monitoring of any kind. No watches, no notifications, no "we'll tell you when it drops". Nothing on this site follows a price.
What this site is not
- It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Amazon.com, Inc., Chase, or JPMorgan Chase & Co.
- It is not financial advice. Card terms come from the issuer; your own situation decides.
- It is not a place to spend more. If the honest answer is "don't buy this", the calculator will say so. Two of the three worked examples on the membership page end that way.
Who should not use this site
- Anyone looking for a verdict without their own numbers. The calculators need your order pattern; that is the whole point.
- Anyone who wants to know what is on sale this week. We do not track deals, prices, or events beyond the plan-level offers we date and label.
- Anyone carrying a credit card balance. Rewards cannot out-earn card interest, and no calculator here will tell you otherwise.
