Hours\ per\ Month: — 730 for continuous (24/7) uptime in an average month

What is the Cloud Server Cost Calculator?

Most cloud providers bill compute instances by the hour (or second) rather than a flat monthly rate — this calculator projects that into an expected monthly cost.

How to use it

1 Enter the instance's hourly rate.
2 Enter how many hours per month it actually runs — use less than 730 if it's not running continuously.

Worked examples

$0.10/hr, running 24/7

About $73.00 per month.

Frequently asked questions

Does this include storage or bandwidth costs?

No — this is compute cost only. Storage, bandwidth, and other add-ons are typically billed separately and vary by provider.
