NAD+ Therapy Cost Calculator

Most NAD+ “cost guides” hand you a static chart. This one is interactive: pick your format — IV drip, SubQ injection, oral NMN/NR, or nasal — set your dose and frequency, and see the real monthly cost, annual cost, and cost per effective milligram. Prices are honest 2026 ranges you can override with your own clinic’s number, and the tool is clear about the one thing the charts never say: cost is not the same as benefit.

read_before_use

This is an educational price estimate, not medical or financial advice. It estimates cost only — it does not tell you a format works. Prices are ballpark 2026 ranges that vary enormously by clinic, compounding pharmacy, region, and dose; clinics often add visit or membership fees on top. Critically, cost is not efficacy: NAD+ evidence is route-dependent, the strongest human data is for oral precursors raising blood NAD+ (a biomarker, not a proven outcome), and IV/SubQ/nasal NAD+ have far thinner clinical evidence despite costing more. Talk to a licensed clinician before starting any NAD+ regimen — especially if you take medications, are pregnant or nursing, or have a medical condition.

cheaper_per_mg_is_not_better

This is a price estimate, not a value judgment. The cost-per-mg figure lets you compare formats on the same footing, but it is not a measure of benefit. NAD+ evidence is route-dependent: the human data is strongest for oral precursors (NMN/NR) raising blood NAD+ — itself a biomarker, not a proven health outcome — while IV, SubQ, and nasal NAD+ have far thinner clinical-outcome evidence despite costing far more per mg. Cheaper per milligram does not make a route effective, and a higher price does not make one work. Decide whether the route is worth it before you optimize on price.

how_the_math_works

We convert whatever cadence you enter into doses per month (a week counts as 52⁄12 ≈ 4.33 weeks, a day as 365⁄12 ≈ 30.44 days), multiply by your per-session or per-dose price for the monthly figure, and times twelve for the year. The cost-per-effective-mg is simply your price divided by the milligrams of NAD+ (or precursor) per session or dose — which is what lets you line up a 500 mg IV against a 100 mg injection or a 25 mg nasal spray fairly.

Worked example. SubQ injection, 100 mg/dose, $25/dose, 3 doses/week → 3 × (52⁄12) = 13 doses/month → $25 × 13 = $325/month → $3,900/year → 100 × 13 = 1,300 mg/month → $325 ÷ 1,300 = $0.25 per mg.

Default price ranges (2026, US, editable): IV drip $200–$1,000/session; SubQ injection $10–$60/dose; oral NMN/NR $0.50–$2.50/day; nasal spray $1.50–$6.00/dose.

faq

How much does NAD+ therapy cost per month?
It depends entirely on the format and how often you go. A clinic IV drip is the most expensive — typically around $500 per session in 2026 (ranging roughly $200–$1,000), so two sessions a month is about $1,000/month. SubQ injections from a compounded vial are far cheaper per dose (roughly $10–$60), and oral NMN/NR capsules are the cheapest at about $0.50–$2.50 a day. This calculator lets you plug in your own clinic's price to get a personalized estimate.
Why does the calculator show 'cost per effective mg'?
Because formats deliver very different amounts of NAD+ per session or dose — a 500 mg IV drip versus a 100 mg injection versus a 25 mg nasal spray. Cost per milligram puts them on the same footing so you can compare apples to apples. Important caveat: cost per mg is a price metric, not a benefit metric — a cheaper milligram does not mean a route works better.
Is the cheapest NAD+ format the best one?
No. NAD+ evidence is route-dependent. The strongest human data is for oral precursors (NMN/NR) raising blood NAD+, which is itself a biomarker rather than a proven health outcome. IV, SubQ, and nasal NAD+ have far thinner clinical-outcome evidence even though they cost much more per mg. Decide whether a route is worth it on the evidence first, then optimize on price.
Are these prices exact?
No — they are ballpark current-2026 US ranges. NAD+ pricing varies enormously by clinic, compounding pharmacy, region, and dose, and clinic IVs often add membership or visit fees on top. Every input in this tool is editable so you can replace our default with the actual number you've been quoted.

A monthly number is the easy part. Whether NAD+ therapy is worth paying for, what real clinics charge, and how to find a legit provider is what actually matters — start here:

This calculator is informational and not medical or financial advice. The estimate is only as good as the numbers you enter, prices are approximate 2026 ranges that vary widely by clinic and region, and it deliberately ignores everything except cost — it cannot judge whether a format is safe, effective, or worth taking at all. NAD+ and its precursors are not FDA-approved treatments for aging or longevity, and the long-term human evidence is limited. Talk to a licensed clinician before acting on anything here.
