AWS Pricing Calculator (Preview)

AWS Pricing Calculator helps you assess the cost impact of your workload modifications on AWS that fit your business needs

Product Description

AWS Pricing Calculator lets you create scenarios for new workloads or changes to existing workloads to get an estimated cost inclusive of discounts. Get started by using the Billing and Cost Management console or access programmatically an available API to define the usage you want estimated. When modifying existing workloads, compare the estimated cost to your original cost baseline for increased awareness of the anticipated cost impact.

How it works

To get started, log into the AWS Billing and Cost Management console or access programmatically via the API. Then, search for and add the workload you want to estimate. You can add historical usage as a baseline to evaluate any change in usage as well as add net new usage. After you’ve define the desired workload, Pricing Calculator calculates the estimated cost, automatically including the net effect of discounts.
