The monthly cost per employee is the yearly price per person divided by 12. Multiply that figure by the number of people who will use the perk to get the monthly total. Nutrola’s staff licenses work out to $2.00 to $2.92 per person per month, depending on seat count. On its page (checked November 5, 2026), Mealime lists $29.99 per year per employee, and Headspace and Calm list their own yearly prices, shown below.
How do you convert a yearly price?
- Take the yearly price per person.
- Divide it by 12 to get the monthly price per person.
- Multiply by the number of people to get the monthly total.
- Add setup time, renewal costs and any extra seats to see the full cost.
A quick check helps. At $35 a year, one person costs $2.92 a month, so 50 people at that price cost $1,750 a year, or about $146 a month.

What does a 100-person program cost each month?
For 100 people on Nutrola’s 61 to 150 tier, the yearly total is $3,200. That is $32 per person, or $2.67 per person each month, and about $267 a month for the whole group. The monthly figure is the same money spread over 12 months. Nutrola’s staff licenses are a one-time payment, so the monthly figure is a way to compare, not a bill.
What else should you count?
Count the time admins and staff spend on announcements and sign-up, and add the internal time you expect. Check renewal terms too. Calm auto-renews yearly unless the admin turns it off, and seats cannot be reduced during the term. Headspace does not auto-renew. Nutrola’s staff licenses are one-time payments with no auto-renewal, and unused or leavers’ seats move to someone else at no charge.
Why does billing change the math?
A monthly figure is a way to compare, not a bill. Calm charges the full year up front by ACH or card. Headspace is card only, in USD, EUR or GBP, with no invoicing. Nutrola sends an invoice from Monorra LLC, payable by card or bank transfer.

Quick answers
Are Nutrola staff prices per month or per year?
They are per person per year. The monthly figure is the yearly price divided by 12, so $35 a year is $2.92 a month.
Is the monthly figure what we will pay each month?
Not always. Calm charges the full year up front by ACH or card, and Nutrola's staff licenses are a one-time payment. Check the billing terms before you budget.
What if a page does not show the currency?
Calm lists 70.00 a year per person and does not show the currency. Ask the vendor to confirm it before you compare the figure with other prices.
