About S3 Cost Calculator

An S3 cost calculator estimates your monthly Amazon S3 bill from how much you store and how you use it. Enter the data stored, object count, requests, retrievals and data transfer out, and it applies the AWS list price for each line, the 128 KB and minimum-duration rules, Glacier metadata overhead and the free 100 GB of egress, then prices the same workload in all seven storage classes.

Key Features

Storage, request, retrieval, restore and data transfer charges as separate line items
All seven storage classes from S3 Standard to Glacier Deep Archive compared for one workload
128 KB minimum object size, 30, 90 and 180-day minimum durations and the 40 KB Glacier metadata overhead
Intelligent-Tiering split across Frequent, Infrequent and Archive Instant Access with the monitoring fee
Expedited, Standard and Bulk restore pricing for Glacier Flexible Retrieval and Deep Archive
Rates read from the AWS Price List API and cross-checked against an independent model on 21,000 scenarios

Use Cases

Decide whether old log files should move to Standard-IA, Glacier Instant Retrieval or Deep Archive
Check whether Intelligent-Tiering's monitoring fee pays off for millions of small objects

How is Amazon S3 storage cost calculated?

S3 bills four things. Storage is charged per GB-month, measured in byte-hours across the month: S3 Standard in US East (N. Virginia) is $0.023 per GB for the first 50 TB, $0.022 for the next 450 TB and $0.021 beyond that. Requests are charged per thousand, at $0.005 for PUT, COPY, POST and LIST and $0.0004 for GET in S3 Standard. Infrequent Access and Glacier classes add a per-GB retrieval or restore fee and bill a minimum of 30, 90 or 180 days per object, and the IA classes bill objects smaller than 128 KB as 128 KB. Data transfer out to the internet costs $0.09 per GB after the first 100 GB each month. The cheapest class depends on how often you read the data, so the cheapest storage price is not always the cheapest bill.
