It’s $9.64 after taxes. I switched in protest of YouTube Premium going up this month. The thing that kept me from switching to Lite sooner is Lite didn’t have background play until recently. I don’t like giving Google money, but I listen to so much content on YouTube that it’s worth it to me.

I just watch what I want and use the skip button on the ads. I’m not paying Google anything.

This is why I use one browser (Microsoft Edge) to stream YT video while browsing in another (Vivaldi). It isn't necessary to use the browsers I use, but a two browser approach eliminates having to pay for background play.
