See what subscriptions cost for a year
A five-dollar plan looks small until you add the rest. Mark those charges as subscriptions in SimpleSpend to see an estimated annual total and the renewals coming in the next 12 months.
Apple’s list is not the whole bill
Settings → your name → Subscriptions shows what Apple bills. It misses Netflix on a card, a gym that drafts your account, and a domain you prepaid a year ago.
A complete picture is still manual: walk last month’s bank file or mail receipts, then put every repeating service into one list. SimpleSpend is that list, next to rent and groceries, not a separate subscription app.
Mark the expense, then read the year
Log the charge as usual, then mark it as a subscription. SimpleSpend estimates the annual total from the amount and the interval, and lists what is due in the next 12 months.
Use that list when a trial is about to convert, or when two video plans overlap. The question is not “is this cheap today.” It is “do I still want this line in the yearly pile.”
Keep it next to the rest of the books
Subscriptions are expenses with a label. They use the same categories, accounts, and ledgers as everything else, so a yearly total in Statistics already includes them.
If a plan is billed in another currency, log it that way. The stored rate stays on the record; your display currency can still add it up.

Common questions
Does SimpleSpend scan my bank for subscriptions?
No. You add each service. There is no bank login and no automatic detection.
Can I see charges for the next 12 months?
Yes. Marking a charge as a subscription shows an annual estimate and upcoming renewals for a year.
