Step 01 / Workload

Describe your infrastructure

Local calculations only

Compute instances / reference VMsVM count, each billed at the provider reference hourly compute rate.

Compute hours per VM / month730 hours approximates an always-on month.

Managed DB instancesEach database instance uses an illustrative provider-specific hourly rate.

Database hours / monthSet to zero if you do not run a managed database.

Object storage · average GBAverage at-rest GB, before class, lifecycle or request fees.

Attached block disks · GBTotal provisioned disk allocation; IOPS and snapshots excluded.

Internet egress · GB/monthOutbound internet transfer; provider included allowances are modeled.

Cross-region transfer · GB/monthCross-region fees may be charged on one or both traffic directions.

Serverless requests · millionsInvocation/request meter only, excluding execution CPU and memory.

Variable usage growth · %/monthApplied to storage, transfer and requests in 12-month forecast.

Manual VM/DB region multiplier1.00 means the reference rate. Regional prices are not auto-fetched.

Contingency reserve · %Optional buffer on projected spend.

Illustrative tax · %You must confirm whether tax applies to your billing entity.

Workload is held constant across providers, but reference VM performance and service tiers are not identical. Region changes require you to adjust the rate or multiplier.

Pricing sources and limitations

What this AWS estimate includes

Calculate a baseline AWS infrastructure budget using editable EC2, RDS-style database, S3, EBS, Lambda request and internet transfer assumptions. All entered quantities represent monthly usage, except where the form explicitly specifies monthly growth. Total expenditure is displayed as monthly recurring cost, a 12-month static baseline, and a variable-usage growth forecast.

The price editor contains both reference values supported by published documentation and assumptions that must be checked against the applicable regional SKU. Open the relevant provider pricing documentation before procurement. Discounts, reservations, taxes, operating-system licenses, support arrangements, service-specific request or compute duration meters may change an actual invoice.

Common questions

Are these official cloud provider quotations?

No. Privacy Needle Calc generates browser-side planning estimates using editable reference rates. Official regional SKUs, service tiers, free allowances, reservations, taxes and contract discounts may differ.

Does the calculator include all cloud charges?

No. It models selected compute, database, storage, network, request, support and contingency line items. CPU time for functions, managed service features, logs, support entitlements, security products and taxes may be additional.

Can I save or share the estimate?

Yes. You can export CSV and JSON, print to PDF, create a shareable input URL or save a scenario to this browser.
