NFC card cost calculator: one-time vs yearly
Put in a card price, a yearly fee, the years and the number of people. See the real total next to any other card.
Total = card price × people + yearly profile fee × people × years. A card with hosting built in costs only the card; a yearly plan adds its fee every year. The presets use Indian sellers' own published prices, checked 27 September 2026 (28 September 2026 for Linkology). It all runs in your browser - nothing you type is sent anywhere.
Calculator
Over 3 years, Card A costs ₹1,597 more than Card B.
Delivery, GST and design fees are not included - they vary by seller. The numbers stay in your browser.
Three ways a card gets paid for, and how each one adds up
Hosting built into the card. You pay for the card and nothing after, so the total is the number of cards times the price. The years make no difference.
A fixed number of years included. Also just the card price - until the included years run out. If you set more years than the seller includes, the calculator tells you that what comes next is not published.
A yearly fee. The card price plus the fee for every year. On Beeps Card, Basic is one profile per account, so a team pays per person. Pro holds up to five profiles on one account for one yearly price: ₹299, ₹399, ₹499, ₹599, ₹699 for one to five people. Enterprise covers 20, 40, 50 profiles for ₹5,000, ₹7,000, ₹10,000 a year.
Cards are optional on Beeps Card - the profile works from a link or a QR code. Set the card price to 0 to see the profile-only cost.
Where the preset prices come from
Each figure links to the seller's own page, read on 27 September 2026 (28 September 2026 for Linkology). The full price index also lists sellers who do not publish enough for a preset.

From the estimate to the card
The calculator tells you what a card costs. This is what the yearly plan behind a Beeps card pays for, so you can weigh the number against what it does.
- A total for the years and people you entered
- Each seller's published card price and fee
- Delivery, GST and design fees left out
- Nothing about what the profile does after the tap
- The same ₹1,699 card and ₹299 yearly plan as the Beeps preset
- Up to 5 profiles on one Pro account, from ₹299 to ₹699 a year
- UPI payments, a Google review button and analytics on the profile
- Booking, an enquiry form and one-tap save to contacts
- Change your details any time; the card never needs reprinting
₹1,998
The card once, plus your first year of Pro. Then ₹299 a year.

How is the total worked out?
Card price times the number of people, plus the yearly profile fee times the number of years. For a seller that builds hosting into the card price, the total is just the cards. For Beeps Pro, up to five people share one account priced as a whole; for Enterprise, the price covers 20, 40 or 50 profiles.
What does the calculator leave out?
Delivery, GST, design fees and replacement cards, because they vary by seller and by order. Check them at checkout. It also cannot tell you what a profile does after the tap - two cards with the same total can do very different jobs.
Why are some sellers missing from the presets?
A preset needs two published facts: the card price and how the profile is paid for. Some sellers do not state the second on their site, and some quote on request. They are listed in the price index with what they do publish. You can still type any seller's numbers in yourself.
Is anything I type sent to Beeps Card?
No. The calculator runs in your browser. The numbers never leave your device, and nothing is saved.
