Cloud Cost & FinOps Calculator
Three quick calculators for the cost questions that come up most: which provider is cheapest for a given VM spec, whether a reserved commitment is worth it, and where egress fees will actually bite.
| Provider | Est. monthly | vs. cheapest |
|---|
On-demand cost
Committed rate
Discount applied
Total savings over term
Upfront breakeven point
Discount bands used here are approximate market averages for 1-year
and 3-year committed-use pricing — your actual quote will vary by
provider and instance family. Use this to sanity-check a quote, not
replace one.
| Provider | Free tier | Rate after | Est. monthly |
|---|
Egress is the cost most teams underestimate when comparing clouds.
AWS, GCP, and Azure typically charge far more per GB beyond a small
free tier than DigitalOcean, Vultr, or Linode — this often outweighs
any compute savings for data-heavy workloads.
