Terms & how it works

Confused by a field? Read the short definitions here while you use the tool.

  • Monthly cost or copay

    One-time or recurring costs that affect total money paid.

  • Months on the drug

    Length of the repayment schedule.

  • Starting weight (lb)

    The “Starting weight (lb)” value used in this tool’s formula. Adjust it to see results update live.

  • Assumed loss (lb/week)

    The “Assumed loss (lb/week)” value used in this tool’s formula. Adjust it to see results update live.

  • monthlyDrugCost

    Monthly cost or copay ($)

    The “Monthly cost or copay ($)” field. Default 499; typical range 0–2000.

Total = monthly cost × months. Assumed loss = weekly lb × (months × 52/12). Cost/lb = total ÷ assumed loss.

Add up cash or copay cost for a GLP-1 over a set number of months. Optional: cost per pound using a weekly loss rate you type yourself.

How this calculator works

Add up cash or copay cost for a GLP-1 over a set number of months. Optional: cost per pound using a weekly loss rate you type yourself. Total = monthly cost × months. Assumed loss = weekly lb × (months × 52/12). Cost/lb = total ÷ assumed loss. Scenario: $499/month for 12 months is $5,988. If you assume 1 lb/week, that is about 52 lb and roughly $115 per assumed pound.

Total = monthly cost × months. Assumed loss = weekly lb × (months × 52/12). Cost/lb = total ÷ assumed loss.
