  • Use the units shown beside each field.
  • Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
  • Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
  • All rates are user-supplied. No free tiers, reserved-instance discounts, taxes or provider-specific billing rounding.

Example Calculation

Example inputs
  • Instances: 2
  • Hours per instance: 730 h
  • Instance hourly price: 0.05 currency/h
  • Storage: 100 GB
  • Storage unit price: 0.1 currency/GB
  • Billable egress: 50 GB
  • Egress unit price: 0.08 currency/GB

Two instances for 730 hours at 0.05/h, plus the entered storage and egress, total 87.

What method does it use?

total=instances × hours × hourly price + storage × unit price + egress × unit price.. All rates are user-supplied. No free tiers, reserved-instance discounts, taxes or provider-specific billing rounding.

Why might a rounded result differ?

The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.
