AWS Pricing Calculator
- What it is
- A free web tool to estimate the cost of an AWS architecture before you build it.
- No AWS account required.
- What you can do
- Model services with your own assumptions (instance type, hours, storage GB, data transfer) and see monthly and 12-month totals.
- Compare pricing models side by side: On-Demand Instances vs Reserved Instances vs Savings Plans.
- Group estimates by team or workload, save and share a link, and export to CSV for a business case.
- Not to be confused with
- AWS Cost Explorer — analyzes what you have already spent.
- AWS Budgets — alerts on spend against a threshold going forward.
- Pricing Calculator is the only one that works before anything is deployed.
- Note
- Replaced the older Simple Monthly Calculator and the TCO Calculator.
