## Frequently asked questions

**How much do annual subscriptions typically save?**  
Most services offer 15–40% off when you pay annually. Some offer up to 50% during sales events like Black Friday.

**Should I always choose annual billing?**  
Only if you're confident you'll use the service for the full year. Monthly gives you flexibility to cancel — annual locks you in but costs less.

**What does the extra discount field do?**  
If you have a promo code or found a Black Friday deal, enter the % discount to see your actual cost after the discount is applied.

**Does this work for any subscription?**  
Yes — Netflix, Spotify, SaaS tools, gym memberships, anything with monthly and annual pricing options.
