How much does a peptide stack cost per month?
A simple, repeatable way to work out your real monthly and yearly peptide spend, including the costs that don't show up on the vial price.
The short answer
Your monthly cost is the sum of each compound's cost per shot × shots per month, plus supplies and waste. For most stacks the peptide itself is the biggest line, but the small things (syringes, water, vials that expire half-used) commonly add 10–20% on top. The exact number depends entirely on your vendor's prices, your doses and your schedule, so the only reliable figure is your own.
Step 1: cost per shot for each compound
cost per shot = vial price ÷ shots per vial
Do this per compound. Keep units consistent: 1 mg = 1,000 mcg. The cost calculator does it for you.
Step 2: shots per month
| Schedule | Shots per week | Shots per month (avg) |
|---|---|---|
| Twice a day | 14 | 60.8 |
| Once a day | 7 | 30.4 |
| 5 on, 2 off | 5 | 21.7 |
| Every other day | 3.5 | 15.2 |
| 3 times a week | 3 | 13.0 |
| Twice a week | 2 | 8.7 |
| Once a week | 1 | 4.3 |
Monthly figures use 4.345 weeks per month.
Step 3: the costs people forget
- Syringes and alcohol pads. One of each per shot. Cheap individually, but a twice-daily schedule uses about 60 a month.
- Bacteriostatic water. One vial usually covers several mixes. Spread its cost across the doses it makes.
- Use-by waste. If a mixed vial isn't finished before its use-by date, the rest is lost. Small doses from big vials are the usual culprit.
- Dead space and spills. A little is lost in the needle and hub on every draw.
- Shipping and minimums. Spread over the vials in each order.
- Dose increases. A step-up plan raises the cost every time the dose goes up.

| Compound | Vial | Price | Dose | Schedule | Per shot | Per month |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compound A | 10 mg | $60 | 250 mcg | Daily | $1.50 | $45.62 |
| Compound B | 5 mg | $45 | 500 mcg | 5 on, 2 off | $4.50 | $97.76 |
| Compound C | 10 mg | $120 | 2.5 mg | Weekly | $30.00 | $130.35 |
| Supplies | ~56 shots | $0.35 | $19.77 | |||
| Waste (≈8%) | $21.90 | |||||
| Total | $315.40 |
About $315 a month, or roughly $3,785 a year, for this example stack. The year figure is usually the one that changes how people plan.
Step 4: track it, don't estimate it
A spreadsheet gives you a starting estimate. Real spend drifts: doses step up, a vial expires, you change vendors. PepKeep tracks it from what you actually log. Every dose comes out of its vial, so you see:
- cost per shot, per month and per year across the whole stack
- how many doses each vial has left and the date it runs out
- when to reorder, based on your real pace
Questions
How much does a peptide stack cost per month?
It depends on your compounds, doses, schedule and vendor prices. Work out each compound's cost per shot (vial price ÷ shots per vial), multiply by shots per month, then add 10–20% for supplies and waste. Example stacks commonly land anywhere from under $100 to several hundred dollars a month.
What is the cheapest way to lower my peptide costs?
Reduce waste first: match vial size to your dose so vials are finished before their use-by date, and track real usage so you reorder on time instead of rushing shipping. Then compare price per mg, not price per vial.
How do I compare peptide prices between vendors?
Compare price per mg (vial price ÷ mg in the vial). A cheaper vial with less in it can cost more per dose.
Does PepKeep tell me what to take?
No. PepKeep tracks and calculates. It doesn't recommend compounds or doses.
