AWS Pricing Calculator
#9 · Level 0 · Getting started · Cloud basicsConcept
Section titled “Concept”With AWS Pricing Calculator you can estimate your monthly cost before you start anything. You choose the services you plan to use, and give an estimate of how much you will use them. From that, the calculator builds an estimate of the cost of each service and the total. You can organize services into groups, and share or export the estimate. It is only a planning tool; to see and control your actual bill, you use Billing and Cost Management.
