You would still be a little short for making the 7 day pass pay off. Unless you add more a travel, the JR Pass is not worth it.
I suggest you look at a japanican ticket.

You cannot use the JR pass on subways anyway. You could only use it on JR trains, and while you could ride the Yamanote Line on it, it's doubtful it would take you everywhere you want to go.
There are some good money saving combo tickets for arriving at Haneda and using the subway.

There are also good 2-3 day subway passes.

For a cheap way to Narita, there is the 1000 yen bus.

Thank you so much i just want to make sure coz i will travel like 3 times 1-tokyo to kyoto 2-kyoto to Osaka 3-Osaka to tokyo so i'll be using the Shinkansen right ? is it cheaper to take the JR Pass for 7 days and i can use it while traveling through the 2 cities i mentioned and go back to Tokyo what do suggest ?

Tenjin

As I just mentioned, a 7 day JR Pass would not pay off for your plans. The japanican ticket is much cheaper, even with the regular ticket cost of going between Osaka and Kyoto taken into consideration.
You should not miss Nara either - it has some of Japan's best sights.

I really appreciate your responds please bare with me what if i have the 14 day JR Pass ? and Suica card for the subway what do you think ?

Tenjin

If the 7 day pass will not pay off, why would you think the 14 day pass would?
You can use the Suica card for the subway - it is convenient but there is no real savings from it.
You either need to increase your travels by adding more - for example, from Tokyo a day trip to Nikko may be very worthwhile, or from Kansai do a day trip to Himeji, Hiroshima/Miyajima etc. You can do it before going to Kansai or immediately after, but all the travel must be completed within 7 days.
Or, use the ticket I mentioned above,
or buy regular fare tickets.
