Short answer: Open the Dashboard button, then Tools, then Cost Calculator. Enter the Vial Cost, Vial Size, Dose per Injection and Frequency. The app shows cost per dose and weekly, monthly and yearly cost, with the math laid out underneath. It uses the numbers you type; it does not suggest a dose.
Before you start: The Cost Calculator is a Pro feature. Without Pro, opening it shows the Pro screen.

How the math works
Same steps as the breakdown, with made-up numbers
- Doses per vial = vial size ÷ dose size. A 200 mg vial with 50 mg per injection gives 4 doses.
- Cost per dose = vial cost ÷ doses per vial. A $40 vial gives $10 per dose.
- Weekly cost = cost per dose × doses per week. Twice weekly is 2 doses, so $20 a week.
- Monthly cost uses 4.33 weeks per month on average: $20 × 4.33 = about $86.60. Yearly uses 52 weeks.
The numbers above only show the arithmetic. They are not a dose or a price guide.
Tracking what you really spend
The calculator is for quick what-if numbers and does not save anything. To track money you have actually spent on your vials, use Expenses on the Tracker tab. See how to track expenses.
