Compare two NBN plans by true cost

Intro discounts make plans look cheaper than they are. Enter two plans and see what each really costs over 12 or 24 months. The example numbers are placeholders, not real prices.

Disclosure: SavySaver does not sell or switch NBN plans and is not an accredited comparator. We have no NBN or telco affiliate partners on this page, so nothing here earns us a commission. If we add a partner link later, it will be labelled and we may earn a commission — see Disclosures. This is not a whole-of-market comparison.

PeriodMonths to compare 12 is a fair default; use 24 if you rarely switch.

Typical evening speed. The ACCC expects providers to show typical busy-period speeds (7pm–11pm); find it in the plan's Critical Information Summary.
Contract and modem. If you leave early, you may owe the rest of the modem cost.
Your connection type. Your maximum speed depends on your NBN connection. Check your address with NBN Co.

Questions

Why compare NBN plans over 12 months?

Many plans have a discount for the first few months. Comparing the total over a year shows the real price after the discount ends.

What speed should I look at?

The typical evening (busy-period) speed in the Critical Information Summary, not the maximum tier speed.

Does the calculator know current NBN prices?

No. You type in the prices from each provider. It has no live feed and doesn't send anything you enter.

General information only, not financial advice. The calculator runs in your browser and doesn't store or send what you enter. SavySaver is an independent, anonymous Australian site.
