Recorded method
Verify cost floors, annualization, fill frequency, separate service cost, and absence of stale hard-coded price claims.
These records describe the published model and reference tests. A test-case count is not a certification of every possible input or an independent specialist review. Editorial policy
Known limitations
- No live pricing or coverage database.
- No coupon-eligibility logic.
- Taxes, shipping, shortages, dose changes, and wastage are not modeled.
- Currency conversion is not performed.

What the GLP-1 Out-of-Pocket Cost Planner calculates
Annualize user-entered medicine, coverage, discount, fill-frequency, and separate clinic-cost amounts.
The calculator avoids hard-coded regional prices that become stale or mislead users.

How to use the GLP-1 Out-of-Pocket Cost Planner
- Collect a current cash or contracted price.
- Confirm insurer or program payment.
- Confirm any valid discount and fill count.
- Add separate service cost only when it actually applies.
Continue with the Protein Calculator. Plan protein separately from medicine decisions.
Formula, variables and calculation order
annual = max(0, price - coverage - discount) x fills + monthly service cost x 12.
Inputs are validated and normalized before the calculation. Working precision is retained until display rounding.

Worked example and boundary check
Worked example
Price 1,000, coverage 600, discount 100, 13 fills, and no service cost gives 3,900 currency units per year.
Boundary check
Coverage plus discount cannot make the net medicine cost negative; the calculator floors it at zero.

Frequently asked questions
Are the prices current?
Only if the inputs you enter are current.
Does it guarantee insurance coverage?
No.
Can discounts be combined?
The calculator cannot determine that.
Why separate clinic cost?
It prevents a service fee from being hidden inside medicine price.
