GLP-1 cost calculators: semaglutide & tirzepatide
Three auditable models built on published provider prices. Run the numbers on what a program really costs before you commit — then check the Cost-Efficiency Index to see which price is actually good value.
The short answer
Across the 371 providers we track that publish a compounded semaglutide price, monthly cash cost runs $59–$1409/mo, with a median near $179/mo. The lowest disclosed sticker is $59/mo at Collective. Our #1 value pick, CoreAge Rx, models to $99/mo = $1,188/yr on a flat, all-50 price with no teaser step-up — the lowest true cost of ownership isn't always the lowest sticker. The calculators below let you model any provider yourself.
