Should I Get Amazon Prime?
Use our widget to find out if the service—now $99 per year—is a good deal for you.
The cost of Amazon Prime is going up.

Considering how much stuff you buy on Amazon, will Prime still save you money? Did it ever? Find out with the widget below.

Now, the fine print: This widget assumes all non-Prime-eligible items ship at the minimum standard shipping rate of $3.99. Actual shipping rates may be higher according to the type and weight of the ordered items, or they could be lower due to special offers. I also did not attempt to estimate the cash value of Prime’s catalog of e-books, movies, and the like. I’ll leave it to you to ponder how much that stuff is worth to you.
