Year one is the bait. Year two is the bill.
Registrars advertise the first year and bury the renewal. TLDMath checks every registrar live and adds the renewal, so you see what a domain actually costs before you buy.

How the math works
Ask every registrar, live
Each search queries registrar APIs directly for that exact name, including premium pricing. No stale price lists.
Add the renewal
We rank by what you pay over two years, plus any minimum term like .ai’s two years. A $1 promo that renews at $26 loses.
Buy wherever wins
We don’t sell domains. You buy directly at the registrar. Affiliate links never change the order.
Free tools
Small calculators for the questions after you buy: when an expired domain drops, whether moving registrars pays, which extensions finish a word.
Drop date calculator
When an expired domain becomes free to register, from its expiry date or the registry.
Open →Transfer savings calculator
What moving a domain to another registrar saves over two to five years.
Open →Domain word finder
Domains where the extension finishes your word, with prices and availability.
Open →Ask your AI. It’ll do the math.
