How it works

Three steps to the honest number.

01
Tell us what you’re buying

Pick a category and enter what you’re looking at — a product, a stay, a car, a charter.

02
We compute the true total

Every fee and running cost added, resale netted off — each figure sourced, dated and confidence-graded before it’s shown.

03
Get the one honest answer

A ranked result with a plain, cited reason why — and rankings that can never be bought.

Everything you buy

One engine. Every category.

4 categories are live on illustrative data today; the rest are next as we connect their feeds. Same method everywhere — sticker plus every hidden cost, minus resale.

2 LIVE
Yachts & charters

Charter fee, APA (~30%), VAT, delivery & port fees — the half first-timers never see.

2 LIVE
Villas & stays

Cleaning, service charge, tourist tax and concierge — added up front, not at checkout.

1 LIVE
Holidays & trips

The real all-in cost of a trip, not the headline package price.

1 LIVE
Experiences

Booking fees, extras and gratuities folded into one honest number.

SOON
Flights

Bags, seat selection and change fees on top of the fare.

SOON
Cars & EVs

Insurance, fuel or charging, servicing and depreciation — minus resale.

SOON
Property

Fees, taxes and running costs — the true whole-life cost of a home.

SOON
Products & pre-loved

From electronics to second-hand — real cost, minus what it resells for.

Worked examples

Real math, on real listings.

Learn & research

Know what it really costs — before you book.

Original research and plain-English guides to the fees the advertised price hides — brand-neutral, sourced, and free.

ORIGINAL RESEARCH
The Hidden-Fee Index

How much the advertised price hides, ranked across every category — from car hire and flights to printers and cruises. Reports on fee types, never a business.

TO MOVE UP A RANKING
Never for sale

Rankings can’t be bought — it’s structural, enforced by a published methodology. The one thing an ad-funded site can’t promise you.

HIDDEN COSTS SURFACED IN THIS EXAMPLE
The true total

We add the fees, running costs and resale that others hide — the number that actually decides value, not the sticker.

AUTHORITIES & SOURCES CITED
Sourced & dated

Every figure is graded FACT, SOURCED or ASSUMPTION and traced to where it came from — with the date it was observed.

Honest note: TrueTotal is pre-launch. We deliberately show no client logos, testimonials or award badges we haven’t earned — that would break the one promise this whole product is built on. What you see above are real capabilities of the engine on illustrative data; live prices, fees and your consumer rights should always be confirmed with the retailer and official sources before you buy. This is guidance, not financial or legal advice.

Start with the honest number.

Search anything and see the true total in about 60 seconds. No sign-up, no cost, no catch.
