How To Calculate Your Monthly Amazon S3 Bill?
The following needs to be estimated to determine your monthly S3 bill:
- The number of gigabytes (GB) that you store in each storage class.
- The quantity and kind of API calls you send to every storage class, are expressed in thousands.
- The number of gigabytes (GB) that you move in and out of each storage class.
After that, you can compute your monthly S3 bill using the formula below:
Monthly S3 bill = ( Storage price × Storage amount ) + ( Request price × Request amount ) +
( Data transfer price × Data transfer amount )
For example, suppose you store 100 GB of data in S3 Standard, make 10,000 PUT requests, 100,000 GET requests, and transfer 50 GB of data out to the internet. Your monthly S3 bill would be:
Monthly S3 bill = ( $0.023 × 100 ) + ( $0.005 × 10 ) + ( $0.0004 × 100 ) + ($0.09 × 50)= $2.3+$0.05+$0.04+$4.5=$6.89
You can use the AWS S3 pricing calculator to estimate your S3 costs based on your usage and storage class preferences. You can also use the AWS Cost Explorer to monitor and analyze your S3 spending over time.
