Cloud Compute Cost Calculator

A quick monthly cost estimate for a cloud compute instance — the starting point before reserved or spot pricing.

730 hours is the 'always-on' baseline

There are about 730 hours in an average month (365.25 days × 24 ÷ 12) — use that figure for an instance running continuously, or a lower number if it's stopped part of the time (like a dev environment shut down overnight).

On-demand is usually the most expensive option

Reserved instances (committing to a term) and spot/preemptible instances (using spare capacity) can cost significantly less than on-demand pricing for predictable or interruption-tolerant workloads.

730 hours is roughly a full month running 24/7 — reduce this if the instance is stopped part of the time, or check reserved/spot pricing for savings.
