Today, AWS announces the public preview of the enhanced AWS Pricing Calculator that provides accurate cost estimates for new workloads or modifications to your existing AWS usage by incorporating eligible discounts. It also helps you estimate the cost impact of your commitment purchases and their impact to your organization’s consolidated bill. With today’s launch, AWS Pricing Calculator now allows you to apply eligible discounts to your cost estimates, enabling you to make informed financial planning decisions.
The enhanced Pricing Calculator, available within the AWS Billing and Cost Management Console, provides two types of cost estimates: cost estimation for a workload, and estimation of a full AWS bill. Using the enhanced Pricing Calculator, you can import your historical usage or create net new usage when creating a cost estimate. You can also get started by importing existing Pricing Calculator estimates, and sharing an estimate with other AWS console users. Using the enhanced Pricing Calculator, you can confidently assess the cost impact and understand your return on investment for migrating workloads, planning new workloads or growth of existing workloads. You can plan for commitment purchases on the AWS cloud. You can also create or access cost estimates using a new public cost estimations API.
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 and blog.
