How much did Netflix go up in 2026?
Netflix raised all three US plans on March 26, 2026: Standard with ads went from $7.99 to $8.99 a month, Standard from $17.99 to $19.99, and Premium from $24.99 to $26.99 (Variety, Mar 26, 2026). New members paid the new prices right away; existing members moved to them over the following months, with an email a month ahead.
Old and new prices

| Standard | $17.99 | $19.99 | +$2.00 |
| Premium | $24.99 | $26.99 | +$2.00 |
That is $1.00 a month ($12 a year) more for Standard with ads, and $2.00 a month ($24 a year) more for Standard and Premium. Prices are US monthly prices before tax.
