Two numbers, not one. The first year is what you pay to get it; the second is what you pay for as long as you keep it.
Porkbun list price in USD, read live from their public API. One registrar, not a market comparison — others may be cheaper or dearer.

A .me registers for $17.27 for the first year at Porkbun, and renews at $17.27 every year after that. The renewal is the same as the first year, so there is no introductory discount to fall off. Prices are read live from Porkbun's public API, so this page is never a stale table.
First-year prices are a customer-acquisition cost that registrars absorb, and some registries subsidise them further to grow a new extension. The renewal is the real price of owning the domain. A comparison sorted on the first year is sorted on the one number you pay once.
Not necessarily. This is one registrar's list price, labelled as such rather than dressed up as a market comparison. Porkbun is used here because it is the only registrar that publishes prices openly — no account, no key, no approval — and a table maintained by hand would be out of date within a week, since domain prices move with promotions.
The domain typically stops resolving the day it expires, then enters a redemption period of around 30 days during which restoring it costs roughly $80–200 rather than the renewal fee. After that anyone can register it. Renewatch exists because auto-renew fails silently — usually a card that expired before the domain did.
