How this calculator works
Ballpark monthly GCP spend for compute and object storage. Planning estimates only — verify with production tools and vendor pricing where applicable. Monthly = instances × $/hr × 730 + storage GB × $/GB + egress. Example: 2 e2-medium + 2 TB storage → ~$95/mo before sustained-use discounts.
Monthly = instances × $/hr × 730 + storage GB × $/GB + egress.
Example: 2 e2-medium + 2 TB storage → ~$95/mo before sustained-use discounts.
When to use this Google Cloud (GCP) Pricing
Common use cases
- Ballpark monthly GCP spend for compute and object storage.
- Sanity-check with this case: 2 e2-medium + 2 TB storage → ~$95/mo before sustained-use discounts.
- The relationship is: Monthly = instances × $/hr × 730 + storage GB × $/GB + egress.
Localized examples
- Cloud Computing & AI Tech: the example on this page uses the same formula as the widget.
What you get
- Fields: Compute instances, Avg $/instance/hour, Cloud Storage (GB), Egress (GB/mo)
- Monthly = instances × $/hr × 730 + storage GB × $/GB + egress.
- Example on the page: 2 e2-medium + 2 TB storage → ~$95/mo before sustained-use discounts.
How to Calculate Google Cloud (GCP) Pricing Step-by-Step
- 1Enter Compute instances, Avg $/instance/hour, Cloud Storage (GB), then the remaining fields. Use the values you have, not a catalog average, unless that is all you know.
- 2Monthly = instances × $/hr × 730 + storage GB × $/GB + egress.
- 3Worked case: 2 e2-medium + 2 TB storage → ~$95/mo before sustained-use discounts.
- 4Compare the result to last month’s invoice or a vendor calculator before you commit capacity.
Governing formula
Monthly = instances × $/hr × 730 + storage GB × $/GB + egress.
2 e2-medium + 2 TB storage → ~$95/mo before sustained-use discounts.
Example: set Compute instances = 2, Avg $/instance/hour = 0.034, Cloud Storage (GB) = 2,000, then read the result.
Variable definitions
- instanceCount
Compute instances
The “Compute instances” field. Default 2; typical range 1–100.
- hourlyRate
