AWS – AWS Pricing Calculator, now generally available, supports discounts and purchase commitment

Today, AWS announces the general availability of the AWS Pricing Calculator in the AWS console. This launch enables customers to create more accurate and comprehensive cost estimates by providing two types of cost estimates: cost estimation for a workload, and estimation of a full AWS bill. You can also import your historical usage or create net new usage when creating a cost estimate. Additionally, the AWS Pricing Calculator now offers three rate configurations, including an after discounts and commitments view, allowing customers to see how both AWS pricing and volume discounts, as well as existing commitments, impact the total estimated cost of a workload estimate.

With the new rate configuration inclusive of both pricing discounts and purchase commitments, customers can gain a clearer picture of potential savings and cost optimizations for their cost scenarios. This feature is particularly useful for organizations looking to understand the impact of their existing commitments, such as Savings Plans or Reserved Instances, on their overall AWS costs. Additionally, customers can now export workload estimates directly from the console in both CSV and JSON formats, including resource-level details for estimated and historical costs. This enhancement facilitates easier analysis, sharing, and integration of estimates with internal financial planning tools.

The enhanced Pricing Calculator is available in all AWS commercial regions, excluding China. To get started with new Pricing Calculator, visit the AWS Billing and Cost Management Console. To learn more visit the AWS Pricing Calculator user guide.
