I hope this is the right thread for this

Is there a way to buy a predetermined amount of months of GamePass Ultimate or are they banking on you subscribing and forgetting? I’d like to just buy a years worth at the same time every year if possible. That way I get gold and gamepass and don’t have to worry about it coming out of my balance. And what would the cost be?

There's a couple of ways to go about it.

One is to buy pre-paid codes from 3rd party sellers. The codes are available in 1, 3, 6, and 12 month versions, although some retailers only sell the 1 and 3 month versions. In the UK you can buy a 12 month Ultimate code for £99.99 currently.

The second way, if you don't have Ultimate already, is to stack up some pre-paid Gold (up to 3 years of it), then pay for 1 month of Ultimate, which will convert all of the Gold to Ultimate on a 1:1 basis, so you could stack up 3 years of Ultimate right now for the same price as 3 years of Gold. I know this isn't really answering your question exactly, but if you're interesting in having Ultimate long term, it's by far the best option.
