Candy Shorts tokens calculator: plan your binge
Add the series you want to finish. The calculator adds up their paid episodes, shows how many are free, and counts how many months of Premium tokens (100 a month) the list needs, buying whole episodes month by month the way Candy charges them.
Token prices checked Nov 10, 2026. Premium includes 100 tokens a month. Not checked: token pack prices (shown only after login) and whether Premium opens paid episodes without tokens.
Worked examples
To show what the calculator does, here are a few lists worked out from today's catalog:
| List | Paid episodes | Tokens | Months of Premium tokens |
|---|---|---|---|
| One typical series Sadie's StepMom | 3 | 36 | 1 |
| Three typical series Sadie's StepMom, My Boss Took Me Instead, Room for Two | 9 | 108 | 2 |
| One star-twin series Lena The Plug Stole My Boyfriend | 3 | 90 | 1 |
| Every star-twin series Lena The Plug Stole My Boyfriend, My Step-Sister's Dormitory, My Stepmom Sophie Dee Caught Me Changing and 13 more | 48 | 1440 | 16 |
| The most expensive series YES MA'AM | 33 | 396 | 5 |
Months of Premium tokens, every series
The calculator's answer for each series on its own: the tokens to finish it and how many months of Premium tokens that takes, buying whole episodes month by month. Series that fit in one month are the easy ones to finish on a subscription.
How the count works
Candy charges per episode, in whole episodes, and Premium adds 100 tokens on each renewal date. Unused tokens do not help much if a series costs more per episode than you have left, so the calculator does not just divide total tokens by 100. It fills each month with as many whole episodes as fit, most expensive first, and starts a new month when nothing else fits. That is why a list can need one month more than the simple division suggests.
The free episodes are counted separately: Episode 1 plays free with no account, episode 2 is free with a free account, then 12 tokens per episode (30 in star-twin series). They cost nothing, so they never add to the months.
What the calculator does not know
- Token packs: Candy prices them only after login, so the calculator works with Premium tokens alone.
- Whether Premium opens episodes without tokens: Candy does not say publicly, so the calculator assumes tokens are needed.
- Spicy series: their episodes and prices are not visible to visitors, so they are not in the list.
- Unused tokens when you cancel: Candy's help center and terms disagree, so the calculator does not count on keeping them.
Plan prices, and how many episodes each plan unlocks, are on Candy Shorts price. If you are deciding between two specific series, compare them side by side first.
