About This Audiobook Price Calculator

The Audiobook Price Calculator evaluates audiobook pricing using listening duration, not just the sticker price. Audiobook cost varies by format and platform. This tool converts price and playback length into cost per hour. This allows comparison between Audible credits, direct purchases, and subscriptions.

Many audiobooks seem inexpensive initially but become costly when analyzed by listening time. This calculator reveals the true audiobook listening cost, helping users determine value.

How the Audiobook Price Calculator Works

The calculator divides the total audiobook price by the total playback length to find the cost per hour. For example, a $20 audiobook with a 10-hour runtime costs $2 per hour. This calculation also applies to subscriptions, where the monthly fee is divided by listening hours.

Users can enter multiple formats for the same title. The calculator compares price per hour, cost per minute, and value. Results are sorted to identify the most cost-effective option.
