Prices usually rise as the dose goes up. See how published per-dose prices add up over 52 weeks.

Known components only

No invented total.

Add any confirmed figures on the left. The result will separate the first payment from recurring 4-week costs and keep every blank visible.

Dose steps

What happens to the medicine bill as the dose rises

Multiplying the starting price by 13 understates a year, because most published prices rise with the dose. This table adds each seller's own four-week price for each step, plus its delivery charge, using prices checked 12 October 2026. Each step is held for the minimum four weeks in the EMA product information for Wegovy and Mounjaro. Consultation and review fees are not included; add them in the worksheet above.

Illustrative only: your prescriber decides whether and when the dose changes, and may keep it lower or pause it. Only sellers whose pages state a four-week pack and a delivery charge for every step are shown. Confirm current prices with the seller before relying on them; a price listing does not confirm stock.

Method

Simple arithmetic. Honest unknowns.

The first 4-week figure adds the starting fee once. The 12-week and 52-week views add recurring costs three and thirteen times. The worksheet does not guess price changes, dose changes, stock, reimbursement or whether treatment will be prescribed; the dose-step table uses published per-dose prices instead.

Before choosing a route, compare its written quote with the public provider evidence and verify the prescriber and dispensing pharmacy. The HSE medicines guidance explains why professional supervision matters, and the HPRA warning on illegal medicines explains why the regulated supply route matters.

Does this calculator show the cheapest GLP-1 provider?

No. The worksheet calculates only the cost figures you type. It does not import provider prices, rank providers, select a medicine or treat a blank fee as zero. The dose-step table below it adds up published per-dose prices, and the provider comparison has dated first-four-week totals by route.

Are my costs saved or shared?

No. The arithmetic runs in your browser. The figures you enter in the worksheet are not saved, emailed or added to the page URL, and the share action sends only the generic page and checklist.

Why does the planner use 4-week cycles?

Many quoted treatment and fulfilment charges recur over four weeks. The 52-week view therefore uses 13 four-week cycles. Confirm the exact billing cadence with the provider and pharmacy.

Does completing the planner mean I can get a prescription?

No. The planner is cost arithmetic, not a medical assessment. A qualified prescriber must decide whether any prescription treatment is suitable.

How do I compare a subscription with separate GP and pharmacy charges?

Get itemised written quotes for the same prescribed strength, supply period and services. Separate the starting assessment from repeat reviews, medicine, support and delivery. For a subscription, ask what is included and what is charged separately; count each cost once. Compare normal repeat costs after any introductory offer, plus the minimum commitment and cancellation terms. A calendar-month subscription is not a four-week charge: compare matching periods before using this four-week worksheet, and keep any unconfirmed component unknown.

Are delivery, needles and dispensing fees included?

Do not assume they are included or charged separately. Ask the dispensing pharmacy for an itemised quote covering the medicine, any needles required for the supplied presentation, dispensing and delivery or collection. Confirm which items are included, which cost extra and whether each charge applies once or to every order. Count an included item only once. Keep a separate note of any extra charge that does not fit this worksheet; its displayed subtotal will not include that extra. An unanswered fee question is unknown, not free.

How do I budget if my clinician changes my prescribed strength?

Ask the pharmacy for a new quote for the strength and pack your clinician prescribes, and ask the provider whether an additional review or prescription fee applies. Confirm the supply period before updating the worksheet. Save the previous estimate separately if you want to compare it. The worksheet's 12- and 52-week views repeat the figures currently entered; the dose-step table shows how published per-dose prices add up when the strength rises. Keep future unquoted costs unknown, and discuss treatment changes with your prescriber.
