How does the free trial work, and when am I charged?
Last reviewed Oct 7, 2026 by Jeremy Werden
Short answer
The BNBCalc Calculator and Markets plans each start with a 7-day free trial, once per account. Nothing is charged until it ends at 11:59 PM in your time zone, 7 days after you start. Then you're charged for the plan you picked at checkout, which is the full yearly price unless you switched to monthly.
What happens when you start
The Calculator and BNBCalc Markets both come with a 7-day free trial. When you start one, checkout shows Total due today: $0. Your card is saved, nothing is charged, and you get everything in the plan right away.
You'll need a debit or credit card, or Apple Pay or Google Pay, since checkout inside the app won't accept a prepaid card for a free trial.
When the trial ends and you're charged
The trial ends at 11:59 PM in your own time zone, 7 days after the day you started, and it's never shorter than 7 full days. So if you start on a Tuesday afternoon, the trial runs until 11:59 PM the following Tuesday, and that's when your first charge goes through.
To see your exact end date, open Settings → Billing. During the trial it reads "Calculator trial active. Ends [date]" (or the same for Markets). Make sure to note that date when you start, because it's the one that decides whether you're charged.
How much the first charge is
The first charge is the full price of the plan and billing period you picked at checkout. Keep in mind that checkout has yearly billing selected by default, so unless you switched to monthly, the first charge is the whole year up front: $199 for the Calculator or $399 for Markets. On monthly billing it's $30 for the Calculator or $79 for Markets. What's the difference between monthly and annual billing? explains both options in full.
Canceling during the trial
You can cancel at any point in the trial and you won't be charged. Go to Settings → Billing → Manage subscription → Cancel current plan. You keep access until the trial's end date, and the Billing page confirms "Your trial won't renew and you won't be charged."
Changed your mind? Until the end date passes, a Resume Trial button on the Billing page picks the trial back up.
Switching a Calculator trial to Markets
If you started on the Calculator and want to try Markets, you don't need a second trial. Click Try Markets Free in the navbar, or Switch Trial on the Billing page, then confirm with Switch to Markets Trial. It costs $0 today, and your trial keeps going.
When the trial ends, you're charged the Markets price for the billing period you picked: $399 a year or $79 a month. How do I change or upgrade my plan? covers the other plan changes.
If you were charged and didn't mean to be
It happens, and you're covered. BNBCalc refunds any Calculator or Markets charge in full if you ask within 14 days of it, including the first charge after a trial. What is BNBCalc's refund policy? explains how to ask.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a card to start the BNBCalc free trial?
Yes. Checkout saves a debit or credit card, or Apple Pay or Google Pay, but doesn't charge it during the trial. Your first charge comes when the trial ends, unless you cancel before then.
Can I start a second BNBCalc free trial?
No. Each account gets one free trial. Once you've used it, the upgrade window shows "You've already used your free trial" and checkout charges you straight away.

What is BNBCalc's refund policy?
BNBCalc gives a full refund of any monthly or annual Calculator or Markets charge if you ask within 14 days of that charge, including the first charge after a free trial. There's no refund button: email [email protected] from your account's email with the details of the charge. Refunds reach your original payment method in about 5 to 10 business days.
Plans, billing & refunds
What's the difference between monthly and annual billing?
Monthly billing charges you every month and can be paused or canceled at any time, while annual billing charges the whole year up front: $199 for the BNBCalc Calculator or $399 for BNBCalc Markets. Annual saves 45% or 58% compared with paying monthly for a year. Both renew automatically and carry the same 14-day refund window.

How do I change or upgrade my plan?
To upgrade a paid BNBCalc Calculator plan to Markets, click Upgrade to Markets in the navbar and pay the prorated difference. During a Calculator trial, use Switch Trial to Markets instead, which costs $0. Every other change, such as monthly to annual or Markets to Calculator, goes through Settings → Billing → Manage subscription → Change plan.
