Subscription cost before tax, in USD. Year 1 uses the first-term price and later years the renewal price where the vendor's page shows both. If you want a domain, a plan that gives a free first-year domain costs you nothing for it in year 1; otherwise your domain price per year is added (leave it at 0 to leave domains out). Plans with no price shown for the chosen billing are left out and listed as pending.

Is domain registration included?
Several builders include a domain free for the first year on annual billing (Wix, Squarespace, Hostinger, Framer), and Durable offers a domain credit. Renewal prices for domains are not shown on the pricing pages, so the calculator lets you enter your own domain price per year.
