How Much Does Starlink Cost at My Address?

Starlink at your address is more than its monthly plan price: U.S. Residential plans shown by Starlink range from $55 to $130 per month, while Roam options start at $50 or $55 depending on the page and plan shown. Your checkout total can also include hardware, shipping, taxes, accessories, installation, and an address-based Demand Surcharge.
The advertised rate is the gate. Checkout is the road beyond it.
How much is Starlink per month at my address?
The monthly price at your address is the plan Starlink offers to your specific account, service address, and hardware, not a national number printed on a comparison chart.
On its U.S. Service Plans page, Starlink lists Residential 100 Mbps at $55 per month, Residential 200 Mbps at $85 per month, and Residential Max at $130 per month. The 100 Mbps and 200 Mbps Residential tiers are available only in select areas and enforce those respective download-speed limits.
| Use case | Plan shown by Starlink | Listed monthly price | Key condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed home | Residential 100 Mbps | $55 | Select areas; 100 Mbps download limit |
| Fixed home | Residential 200 Mbps | $85 | Select areas; 200 Mbps download limit |
| Fixed home | Residential Max | $130 | Check address eligibility |
| Travel or RV | Roam 100 GB | $55 | High-speed allotment, then unlimited low-speed data |
| Travel or RV | Roam 300 GB | $80 | High-speed allotment, then unlimited low-speed data |
| Travel or RV | Roam Unlimited | $175 | Check address and offer shown at checkout |
There is a wrinkle. Starlink's separate Roam page advertises Roam 50 GB at $50 per month and Roam Unlimited at $165 per month. The Service Plans page lists different Roam tiers and prices. Treat the checkout offer for your address as the controlling figure.
Starlink explains the reason in its eligibility guidance: offerings vary with network capacity, regulatory approval, and local demand. If a plan does not appear for an account, Starlink says it is not available for that account. The address is part of the product.
Do not compare the monthly rate alone. The FCC defines monthly price as the plan cost before added monthly charges and taxes unless a provider states that its price is all-inclusive. That distinction turns a neat number into a real budget.

What does Starlink cost after the dish, shipping, taxes, and installation?
Your first-year Starlink cost equals twelve monthly service charges plus every one-time charge shown at checkout.
Starlink's U.S. Terms of Service say an order can include the Starlink Kit, accessories, shipping, handling, and taxes. Shipping and handling apply and are non-refundable. The terms also allow taxes, government fees, rights-of-way charges, license or permit fees, duties, and surcharges on service, kit, and accessory charges.
The source materials do not provide a universal kit price, shipping amount, tax rate, installer fee, accessory price, or power-cost figure. Those figures belong to your order and your home. No single article can fill them in without making them up.
| Worksheet line | What to enter | Where to verify it |
|---|---|---|
| Service | Monthly plan price x 12 | Your address-specific plan selection |
| Starlink Kit | One-time hardware price | Checkout |
| Shipping and handling | One-time charge | Checkout |
| Taxes and public charges | Amount or local rate shown | Checkout and plan disclosure |
| Mounts and accessories | Only items needed for the installation | Checkout |
| Installation | Installer quote, if used | Installer or self-install decision |
| Demand Surcharge | One-time charge, if shown | Checkout |
Demand Surcharge is the line item people miss. Starlink says it can apply based on the service address, chosen plan, and kit model. Changing the address or plan can trigger it later. A low monthly price does not erase a high entry cost.
Read any service commitment before placing the order. Starlink says commitments can last 12 or 24 months, and changing, canceling, moving, or transferring committed service can produce a $249 or $325 change fee, as applicable.
Before paying for a mount or installer, use Starlink's app to assess whether the dish location has an unobstructed view of the sky. The company states that this view is required. A dish with blocked sky is not a cheaper dish. It is a bad site choice.
This worksheet logic applies beyond internet. A monthly offer can hide the rest of the bill, as with a car advertised at R1,300 per month. Price is one line. Cost is the whole page.
What is the difference between Starlink Residential and Roam pricing?
Residential prices a fixed-home connection; Roam prices mobile or travel use and gives you tools built for periods away from home.
Residential is the cleaner fit for a single service address. Starlink lists three Residential monthly prices on its U.S. plan page: $55, $85, and $130. Availability remains address-specific, and the lower two listed Residential tiers have enforced download-speed limits.
Roam is positioned for travel, camping, boating in territorial and inland waters, RV use, and remote work. Starlink says all Roam plans support in-motion use up to 100 mph, subject to the plan and applicable conditions. Roam service can be paused and un-paused, with billing in one-month increments.
Roam's lower-priced data tiers are not the same as unlimited high-speed service. Starlink states that Roam 100 GB and 300 GB users receive high-speed data first, then unlimited low-speed data. Plan the data tier around the work you need to do when far from a fixed connection, not the cheapest number on the screen.
Priority plans are a separate budget problem. Starlink's Priority data guidance says users can opt into added data charged per gigabyte after the monthly limit. Once the included Priority Data is gone, speeds reduce to 1 Mbps download and 0.5 Mbps upload unless additional data is obtained. The source also says 50 GB and 500 GB data blocks are available, while unused automatically purchased top-up data expires at the end of the billing cycle.
Choose by place and pattern. Residential is for a home that stays put. Roam is for service that moves or rests between trips. Priority needs a ceiling for extra data before it needs a fast headline.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pause Starlink when I am not using it?
Starlink says Roam service can be paused and un-paused, with billing in one-month increments. Its service-plan page also describes Standby Mode on Roam plans as a small monthly fee for emergency messaging and reactivation. The provided sources do not state that fixed Residential service has the same pause terms.
Are there data limits or slower speeds on lower-priced Starlink plans?
Yes. Roam 100 GB and Roam 300 GB include a high-speed data allotment followed by unlimited low-speed data. Residential 100 Mbps and Residential 200 Mbps plans, where offered, enforce their named download-speed limits; after Priority data is exhausted, Starlink says speeds fall to 1 Mbps down and 0.5 Mbps up unless more data is obtained.
Is Starlink cheaper than 5G home internet or rural fixed wireless?
The supplied sources do not provide comparable prices for 5G home internet or rural fixed wireless, so no honest universal price ranking exists here. Compare each available option's FCC broadband label for monthly price, introductory pricing, data allowances, typical speeds, one-time fees, equipment charges, and taxes.
The FCC broadband label is built for this comparison. It requires disclosures about prices, introductory rates, data allowances, and speeds. Its glossary also places fiber, cable, DSL, and fixed wireless in the fixed-broadband category, making them valid alternatives to price beside a fixed-home Starlink plan.
