Prime membership in the U.S. offers flexible payment options, allowing individuals to choose between monthly and annual plans.
Prime Membership Costs
The cost of a Prime membership depends on whether you opt for a monthly or an annual payment plan. Paying annually can result in significant savings compared to paying month-to-month over the course of a year.
Here’s a breakdown of the typical costs in the U.S.:
| Payment Plan | Cost (U.S.) |
|---|---|
| Monthly | $14.99 |
| Annually | $139 |
Understanding the Cost Savings
Opting for the annual plan can be a more economical choice for many members:
- Monthly Savings: Paying $14.99 per month for 12 months would total $179.88 ($14.99 x 12).
- Annual Discount: By choosing the annual payment of $139, members save approximately $40.88 per year compared to the monthly option ($179.88 - $139).
This makes the annual membership a more cost-effective solution for those planning to use Prime services consistently throughout the year.
