A $55 ticket. A $99 night?
Your favorite artist is coming to town. Before you tap “Buy,” see what the whole evening will cost—and decide how to make it work.
STEP 1 OF 6
Maya has a plan. And a ticket to buy.
Maya has $120. She wants to keep $30 for her phone bill next week. Her friends invite her to a concert, and the ticket is advertised at $55.
“I can afford that,” she thinks. But the checkout adds fees. She will also need a ride—and probably something to eat.
Look at the full cost of a plan, then compare it with the money you can actually spend. Money set aside for another commitment already has a job.
Can Maya enjoy the concert and keep her phone bill covered? Try the calculator next.
Try the full-night calculator.
Start with Maya’s numbers. Change any amount to see how the plan changes—for example, reduce food to $9.
Ticket + fees + transportation + food = full cost. Available money − money set aside = spending limit.
What would you do?
For Maya’s original plan: the evening costs $99, and she can spend $90 while keeping her phone bill covered.
Green: strongest choice for this goal. Yellow: another choice to consider.
The aim is to enjoy the evening while covering the phone bill. A different personal priority could lead to a different decision.
Make it your plan.
A concert, a day out or a new game—which purchase would you like to plan for? Think about the full cost and the money you need to keep for something else.
Try: “Before I buy ___, I’ll check ___. I’ll keep $___ aside for ___.”
