Cloud Server Cost Estimator

Estimate monthly and annual cloud infrastructure costs including compute, storage, and data transfer.

Total number of virtual machine instances running.
Average hours per month each instance runs (730 = ~24/7).
On-demand hourly rate per instance. Check your cloud provider pricing.
Total persistent storage provisioned in GB (EBS, Persistent Disk, etc.).
Cost per GB per month. AWS EBS gp3 ~ $0.08/GB, S3 ~ $0.023/GB.
Monthly outbound data transfer in GB (egress costs apply on most clouds).
Cost per GB of outbound data transfer. AWS/GCP ~$0.09/GB.

Results

Compute Cost/Month$365.00
Storage Cost/Month$11.50
Total Monthly Cost$385.50
Annual Cost$4,626

📖What is it?

For informational/educational purposes only. Cloud infrastructure costs are made up of compute (virtual machines), storage, and data transfer fees. This calculator gives a quick estimate before using a cloud provider pricing calculator.

🎯How to use

Enter the number of instances and how many hours per month they run, along with the hourly cost. Then add your storage footprint and egress data transfer. The calculator breaks down each cost component and totals them monthly and annually.

💡Example scenario

5 instances at $0.10/hr running 730 hours = $365 compute. 500 GB storage at $0.023 = $11.50. 100 GB egress at $0.09 = $9. Total monthly = $385.50, annual = $4,626.

🏆Pro tip

Reserved instances or committed-use discounts can cut compute costs by 30-60% for steady workloads. Spot/preemptible instances offer up to 80% savings for fault-tolerant batch jobs. Always check if data stays within a region to avoid egress fees.
