What would your bill be on a cheaper carrier?

No link on this page pays me. How the site makes money

Put in what you pay now. Every budget carrier is priced at its regular rate, with tax, and the intro price sits beside it instead of in the headline.

How the numbers work

Regular price, not intro price. Every plan is ranked on one rule: the cheapest regular price it's sold at, on whichever billing term that is, and the row says whether that's month to month, paid yearly or prepaid, with the upfront charge. The intro sits in its own column, compared with the regular price on the intro's own term, so a $19 monthly intro is shown becoming the $25 monthly price. Prices hand-checked against each carrier's own page on September 21 to 22, 2026; the daily log shows when they last moved.

Tax. US Mobile, Visible, Total Wireless and Cricket Wireless include tax in the advertised price; Mint Mobile and Tello don't. Since the bill you typed is after tax, the pre-tax plans are grossed up by an estimated 18%. The Tax Foundation puts state and local wireless taxes at 3–25% depending on the state, and more with federal charges; the tax page has your state. It's the one number on this site that isn't read off a carrier's page.

More than one line. Where a carrier publishes a price for two, three or four lines, that's the figure used and the row says so. Past the end of a published table the last step carries on, and the row says it's an estimate. Carriers with no multi-line table are multiplied and labelled the same way. Intro prices cover the lines the carrier says they cover: a "first line free" offer prices one line at the intro and the rest at the regular rate. Where a carrier doesn't limit it, the intro is multiplied by the number of lines.
