Family plan split calculator

Choose a family or shared plan and how many people are on it. You’ll see what each person pays a month and a year, and how much the group saves compared with everyone buying a one-person plan.

Plan and people

This plan allows up to 6 people.

Prices are the US prices we checked, before sales tax; yearly plans are divided by 12. You can change any amount.

How the split is calculated

The plan price is divided equally between the people on it; a yearly plan is divided by 12 first. The list only includes plans that more than one person can use, with the US prices we checked, before sales tax. Each plan is compared with the most complete one-person plan of the same service that costs less — for Spotify Family that’s Premium Individual, not Student, because not everyone can get a student price. If you pay something else, change the amounts.

Who can share: each plan has its own rules

  • Spotify Premium Family: up to 6 accounts at the same address; Duo is two accounts at the same address (review).
  • YouTube Premium Family: you plus up to 5 people in your household (review).
  • Apple Music and iCloud+: you plus up to five people through Family Sharing (Apple Music, iCloud+).
  • Google One: shared with up to five others in a Google family group (review).
  • Microsoft 365 Family: 1 to 6 people, each on up to 5 devices at once (review).
  • Nintendo Switch Online Family: up to 8 Nintendo Accounts, sold by the year (review).

Sharing outside these rules — with a friend who lives elsewhere, for example — can go against the provider’s terms.

Before you split

  • For two people, compare with Duo. Spotify Duo is made for two people at the same address and costs less than Family; the calculator shows both.
  • One person pays the whole bill. The provider charges the plan manager’s card, and collecting everyone’s share is up to you.
  • Count the people who will really use it. A plan for six split between three costs each person twice as much as the same plan split six ways.

What the calculator doesn’t do

It doesn’t check whether your group meets the provider’s rules, and it doesn’t add sales tax, which depends on your state. To see all your subscriptions together, use the subscription calculator.
