Method: for a term of N months the first N months cost the intro price per month and every later term costs the renewal price per month. The total spreads each prepaid term over the months it covers and counts only the months inside your horizon, so a long term is never charged twice. Long terms are billed up front, so when a term runs past your horizon the plan shows the cash you would have paid by then as well. Prices exclude tax.
