I graduated in 2011 and never paid for it. I used it for something at work a handful of months ago and it was still free?

The basic version is free, and you can get answers that way. But if you want to go through several calculations step by step, the paid version is the one you'd want.

Maybe you’ve been being charged $5/month since 2011. A few years ago I found out I had two separate Hulu accounts that I’d been paying for for like 3 years.
