This page is a practical Canadian comparison guide, not a live mobile-plan offer page. Use it to organize the decision, then confirm current pricing, coverage, plan features, device terms, roaming rules, fees, taxes, and cancellation details directly with the provider.
Monthly total
The number that affects cash flow.
Annual equivalent
Shows the real budget effect.
Exit cost
A remaining device balance can matter if switching.
Separate each cost line
Plan price, device payment, add-ons, discounts, roaming, and one-time fees should be visible separately.
Average one-time fees carefully
Connection, activation, SIM/eSIM, or upgrade fees may not repeat monthly but still affect year-one cost.
Compare year one and later years
Promotions can make the first year look better than the regular ongoing cost.

FAQ
Does this calculator include taxes?
No. It estimates before-tax cost unless you enter tax-adjusted amounts yourself.
Why spread one-time fees over months?
It shows the first-year cost more honestly when comparing offers.
Should I include roaming?
Yes, if travel is a regular or predictable part of the year.
