Q1: Why calculate annualized premium instead of just monthly?
A: Annualized premium provides a clearer picture of the total yearly cost, making it easier to compare different plans and budget for the entire year.

A: Some providers offer discounts for annual payments. This calculator shows the cost if paying monthly; check with your provider for annual payment options.
Q4: Can I use this for any type of monthly payment?
A: Yes, this calculation works for any recurring monthly payment, including insurance premiums, subscription services, and loan payments.
Q5: What if my payment is bi-weekly or quarterly?
A: For non-monthly payments, you would need to adjust the calculation accordingly (e.g., multiply bi-weekly payments by 26 or quarterly payments by 4).
