What changes when the first term ends
The 15-month and 27-month plans are sold at an introductory price that only covers the first term. Any bonus months are part of that first term, which is why it does not run a whole number of years. When it ends, the plan renews at NordVPN's regular price, and the price you paid up front no longer applies.
The 1-month plans have no introductory price. They renew at the price you start on: Basic $14.99, Complete $19.99 and Prime $29.99 a month.
The first term and the renewal price for each plan:
- Basic, 15 months: $74.85 for the first term ($4.99 a month), then $139.08 every 12 months.
- Basic, 27 months: $94.23 for the first term ($3.49 a month), then $139.08 every 12 months.

Taxes and the money-back guarantee
NordVPN says that sales tax may be added to the price at checkout, so the total you pay can be higher than the prices in the table above.
NordVPN's pricing page shows a 30-day money-back guarantee. The conditions are set by NordVPN, not by us, so read them on its site before you rely on it.
How NordVPN compares after renewal
The price table on our VPN cost page has one row per provider, its VPN-only plan, sorted by what it costs per year after renewal, lowest first. NordVPN's VPN-only plan, Basic, is 6th of 7, at $139.08 a year after renewal. That is the highest yearly cost of the 6 plans that show a renewal price. The lowest is Private Internet Access at $27.07 a year. Surfshark is listed last because the renewal price is not shown before you pay.
