Savings-card math: at the maximum monthly benefit your card's annual cap runs out around Oct 27, 2027. Plan the next route before then, not after.

Plan the whole climb, not just this month Price every fill between any two doses, over 3 to 24 months, on the dates each one actually falls. Dated price changes are already in the arithmetic. Calculate ramp cost

  1. Rank 1

    Plan coverage + Zepbound Savings Card

    until Dec 31, 2026
    $25/mo

    ≈13 months of card benefit left at the maximum monthly benefit.

    • Commercial insurance that covers Zepbound (single-dose pen). US resident 18+. Government beneficiaries (Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE) excluded.
    • As little as $25 for a 1-, 2-, or 3-month prescription. Max benefit $100 / $200 / $300 per 1- / 2- / 3-month fill. $1,300 calendar-year cap across up to 13 fills per calendar year. A month is 28 days and up to 4 single-dose pens, so 13 fills is a full year of 28-day cycles and the fill count binds at the same time as the dollar cap, not before it.

  5. Retail list price (reference)

    reference verify locally
    $1,087/mo
    • Cited to TrumpRx, which displays $1,087 as Zepbound's list price; drugs.com stopped publishing it and now shows the LillyDirect self-pay tiers instead
    • Context anchor only — what the drug costs with no route at all. Walk-in cash at retail typically exceeds WAC.
