How much is Netflix in 2025? A breakdown of the monthly prices for every subscription plan

With a vast library of TV shows, movies, and original programming, Netflix is one of our picks for the best streaming services you can sign up for. But like its competitors, the price of Netflix varies depending on which subscription tier and features you choose.

Netflix pricing previously started at $7 a month, but a January 2025 Netflix price hike brought starting prices up to $8 a month. Standard and Premium subscription prices also increased to $18 a month and $25 a month, respectively. Netflix's 2023 crackdown on password sharing introduced the service's Extra Member option, which allows subscribers to enable access to one or two members who live outside of their household for an additional monthly fee.

To help you decide which Netflix plan is right for you, we've put together a guide detailing how much Netflix charges for each of its membership tiers, along with details on each plan's features. If you're hoping to try something else, you can check out our guide to the best Netflix alternatives.

How much Netflix costs a month

In the US, Netflix currently offers three streaming plans: Standard with Ads, Standard, and Premium, ranging from $8 to $25 monthly.

It also costs more to add another user to a subscription plan. Standard and Premium subscriptions are the only plans that offer extra member additions. Standard allows one extra member slot for $7 (with ads) to $9 (without ads) monthly. Premium offers up to two extra member slots for $7 (with ads) to $9 (without ads) each month.

Here's a breakdown of Netflix prices for each plan.
