Cord-cutting savings, explained
The questions folks ask before tossing the cable box.
The average American pays $80–$120/month for cable. Replace that with a live TV streaming service at $40–$83/month and you're looking at $40–$80/month in savings, which adds up to $480–$960/year. HonestTV at $40/month is the cheapest full-cable replacement, so the savings are at the upper end of that range.
The estimate uses your stated monthly bill as the baseline and assumes you switch to a $40/month streaming stack. If your cable bill includes internet, equipment rental, or premium channels you'll keep, your real net savings will be lower. The calculator is a directional estimate, not an audit.
HonestTV at $40/month for 3,500+ channels is the cheapest full-cable replacement that includes ESPN, CNN, HBO, and NFL Network. Sling TV's Orange+Blue plan starts at $55 but drops several major networks and most local channels. YouTube TV at $82.99 is the most expensive option and rarely the best value.
No — live TV streaming carries the same major US networks as cable. ESPN, Fox Sports, CNN, MSNBC, HBO, NFL Network, and most local affiliates are all included. Streaming services typically add more international and niche channels than basic cable packages, not fewer.
Yes — streaming uses your internet connection. A 25 Mbps connection handles HD reliably. If your cable bill bundled internet, subtract your standalone internet cost ($50–$70/month typical) to get your real net savings from cutting the TV portion.
