5-year cost = first-year price + 4 x renewal price, where the first-year price is a first-year sale price if the registrar's page showed one on the price date and the regular registration price otherwise. A sale can end at any time. Only TLDs that both registrars price are compared; a TLD that only one of them lists is not counted. Counts are over the registrars' list prices on the dates shown, nothing more. See the methodology.
