How the calculator works: an example

Example: you're buying a 13-issue Empire print subscription for £59.99, and you have a 10% off code. If a 40% sale is on and the code also works on sale items, the sale takes off £24.00 and the code a further £3.60, so the basket drops to £32.39: a saving of £27.60. Press “Fill in the example” to see it worked out, or put in your own basket, sale and code. Whether a code works on sale items depends on its terms.

How to subscribe to Empire

Pick an offer above: each one names the store it's from, and its button opens that store's Empire page.
Choose the term and the way to pay. Magazine.co.uk and iSubscribe sell the 6-issue trial and the 12- or 13-issue subscription by Direct Debit, or a year paid once by card; at Great Magazines, choose your delivery country, then Print+, Digital or the Empire VIP Club. Tick the gift option if it's a present.
Pay at checkout: the prices shown need no code, and iSubscribe and Magazine.co.uk say codes can't be used on Direct Debit subscriptions. The first print issue arrives in 2 to 6 weeks (Magazine.co.uk) or up to 4 to 6 weeks (iSubscribe); a digital edition is ready at once.
A Direct Debit subscription renews until you cancel it. Great Magazines asks for at least 10 days' notice before a trial ends, and Pocket Mags' digital subscription can be cancelled in My Account up to 24 hours before it renews.
