About this tool
EC2 Cost Calculator
The EC2 Cost Calculator uses a disclosed static on-demand rate table for supported instance types, runtime, and OS. It does not model region, Reserved Instances, or Savings Plans.
• Estimate monthly on-demand cost for a supported EC2 instance before provisioning
• Compare Linux and Windows estimates in the embedded model
• Model runtime-hour changes for known instance types
• Confirm current provider pricing before making a purchase

FAQ
What does this tool tell you?
The EC2 Cost Calculator uses a disclosed static on-demand rate table for supported instance types, runtime, and OS. It does not model region, Reserved Instances, or Savings Plans.
What affects the result most?
Static on-demand hourly rate lookup for the explicitly supported instance types. Monthly cost = hourly rate × hours per month. Linux vs Windows multiplier in the embedded model.
How should I use the result?
The calculation is deterministic — the same inputs always produce the same output — so the most useful workflow is to vary one input at a time and see which factor moves the result most. That tells you where to focus your attention before committing to a decision.
