This Calculator Decides If Dropping the Cable Will Save You Money
At first glance, it seems like you will always save money by canceling your cable subscription, but depending on what services you need to buy to replace your cable, this may not be the case. Slate has put together a handy calculator to help you make your decision.
All you have to do is include the cost of your cable TV plan, add your internet access fees, and then choose the streaming services that you are likely to use. The Slate calculator then adds up everything and lets you know how much you will spend per year. As you’d expect, it looks like cutting the cable will always be cheaper if you don’t subscribe to any of the sports packages, but it’s still handy to see the actual breakdown of the numbers.
