Your streaming bill
How much are you paying for streaming?
Pick your country. These figures cover paid streaming and television subscriptions. Internet, mobile, music, and gaming are out.
The map uses Move.org's 2026 state estimates for streaming services. Alaska and New Mexico are lowest at $55 a month; Maryland and Washington, D.C. are highest at $73. Internet, cable, and satellite TV are excluded from this map. The four-country graph below adds TV subscriptions, so it should not be compared as though it were the same dataset.

Every household
The market-wide number
This spreads streaming spending across homes that pay and homes that do not. It is useful for market context, but it is not the bill sitting in your account.
Streaming households
The number closer to your bill
This covers homes that stream or subscribe. It usually runs higher because households without paid streaming are no longer part of the calculation.
There is no honest global average.
The four countries do not publish the same measurement. The U.S. figure comes from survey data. Canada and the U.K. rely partly on market revenue. Australia's all-household figure is an industry model.
That is why the page keeps local currencies, dates, and populations attached to every number. Converting them into one ranking would look precise and say less than the research does.
