Cloud cost calculator

Cloud Storage Cost Calculator

Estimate monthly cloud storage cost using separate storage, egress and request-rate assumptions.

Why this calculator uses your rates

Cloud providers change prices by region, storage class, retrieval tier, request type and committed-use program. This calculator avoids fake live pricing by letting you paste the current rates from your provider quote or pricing page.

Example

At 1,000 GB-months priced at $0.02, storage is $20. Add 200 GB egress at $0.09 and 50 thousand requests at $0.005 per thousand, and the monthly estimate is $38.25.

What to check before using the result

Separate hot storage, archive storage, cross-region transfer, CDN egress, retrieval fees, minimum retention charges and operation classes when those line items are material. For backups, also model restore tests because archive retrieval can dominate a rare but expensive incident.
