I'm confused because of the AWS price examples in AWS, I think it's not clear enough because the 2000 GB in gp2 costs $200 in the AWS Calculator

Anyway, as I understand the cost,

The next gp3 will cost ($2.4 / Month)? (0.08 * 30GB/Month)

30 GB / 3000 IOPS / 125 MB/s

And Here will costs ($3.95 / Month) ?

40 GB / 6000 IOPS / 250 MB/s

$3.2 = (0.08 * 40GB/Month)
+
$0.5 = (0.005 * 6000-3000 FREE * 86400 sec/day) / (86400 sec/day * 30 Day)
+
$0.25 = (0.06 * 250-125 FREE * 86400 sec/day) / (86400 sec/day * 30 Day)

Is that correct?

  • I’m voting to close this question because it is not about programming as defined by the [help]. This is a question for AWS Billing Support. – TylerH Aug 24 '21 at 14:19

The first calculation (30GB for $2.40) appears correct.

For the second example, it would appear that you copied the sample calculations from the Amazon EBS Pricing page. In that example, the disk only exists for 12 hours rather than a whole month. That's why it includes the 86400 calculation.

If you are wanting to calculate the price for a whole month, then it would be:

40GB storage = 40 * .08 = $3.20 per month
+
6000 IOPS = 3000 Free + 3000 * $0.005 = $15 per month
+
250 MB/s Throughput = 125MB/s free + 125 * $0.04 = $5 per month
=
$23.20 per month

  • I think it's very expensive than AWS calculation lol :) The AWS example with 10,000 IOPS costs 58 Cents :) – Hady Shaltout Dec 10 '20 at 08:59
  • Their example says "let’s say that you provision a 2000 GB volume for 12 hours (43,200 seconds) in a 30-day month". Thus, it is only for half a day, not a whole month. – John Rotenstein Dec 10 '20 at 09:10
  • YUP, But my EBS 30 GB only, and In case you calculate their example for the 24 hours it will be $1.1 only .. And I think there's something wrong in their calculation, they missed the main cost of 2000 GB * 0.08 which is $160 fixed – Hady Shaltout Dec 10 '20 at 09:13
  • They did include the cost for 2000GB, but it was only calculated for 12 hours, not a full month ($2.667). – John Rotenstein Dec 10 '20 at 09:16
  • YEAH, That what I missed, Thanks man :) So my second example is wrong .. but the first one is correct? – Hady Shaltout Dec 10 '20 at 09:23
  • Yes, I'd say that your 30GB $2.40 example is correct. – John Rotenstein Dec 10 '20 at 09:23
  • Thanks pal, Can you edit your answer with the first one is correct and the other is not to Mark as a solution? Thanks – Hady Shaltout Dec 10 '20 at 09:25
