A subscription to Amazon Prime costs $99 per year. You are charged annually, from the date you sign up to the same date next year. If you're looking to compare that to other per-month billing schemes, Amazon Prime's cost averages out to $8.25 per month. You can, however, get a 30-day free trial when you first sign up for Amazon Prime.
Without Amazon Prime membership, you will be paying $12 on average for two-day shipping on each purchase. If you typically buy one item each month from Amazon using two-day shipping, you would be spending at least $114 a year, making an Amazon Prime membership worth the cost. If you don't always need items right away and opt for standard shipping instead ($6 on average), you would need to make at least 16 purchases a year to make an Amazon Prime membership pay off.
