How the Cloud Cost Estimator works
Enter your instance count and hourly price, hours per month, storage amount and price, and data egress with its price.
Compute is instances × hourly price × hours.
Egress is billed only above the free allowance.
The formula
Worked example
Using the default values shown in the calculator:
| Instances | 4 |
|---|---|
| Price per instance-hour | $0.096 |
| Hours per month | 730 |
| Storage (GB) | 800 |
| Storage price ($/GB-month) | 0.08 |
| Data egress (GB) | 1500 |
| Free egress (GB) | 100 |
| Egress price ($/GB) | 0.09 |
- Compute: 4 × $0.096 × 730 = $280.32.
- Storage: 800 × $0.08 = $64.00. Egress: (1,500 − 100) × $0.09 = $126.00.
- Monthly total: $470.32, or $5,644 a year.
Result:
| Compute | $280.32 |
|---|---|
| Storage | $64.00 |
| Data egress | $126.00 |
| Estimated monthly total | $470.32 |
| Estimated yearly total | $5,644 |
