Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this AWS cost calculator?
This calculator uses verified June 2026 on-demand pricing for the us-east-1 region. It gives a realistic estimate but actual bills may vary due to partial-hour charges, additional services like CloudWatch or NAT Gateway, support plan costs, and taxes. Always verify against the official AWS pricing pages before committing to production infrastructure.
What's the difference between Reserved Instances and Savings Plans?
Reserved Instances lock you into a specific instance type and region for 1 or 3 years, offering up to 72% discount. Savings Plans are more flexible β€” you commit to a dollar-per-hour spend rate, and discounts apply automatically across EC2, Lambda, and Fargate regardless of instance type. For most teams, Compute Savings Plans are recommended unless your workload is very predictable and stable.
Is the AWS Free Tier included in this calculator?
Lambda's free tier (1M requests/month, 400K GB-seconds) is automatically applied in this calculator. For EC2, RDS, and S3, the 12-month free tier applied to accounts opened before July 15, 2025 is not included since it varies by account age. If you're on the free tier, your actual bill will be lower.
Why does my real AWS bill look different from this estimate?
Several common costs are not included in simplified calculators: CloudWatch logs storage and ingestion, NAT Gateway ($32.40/month per gateway + $0.045/GB processed), Elastic IPs when unattached, Route 53 DNS queries, AWS Support plan fees, and cross-AZ data transfer charges. These can add 15–40% to your compute bill in production setups.
What's the cheapest way to run a small web app on AWS?
For a small web app: use a t4g.micro or t4g.small EC2 instance (Graviton ARM architecture is 20% cheaper than x86), store assets on S3 Standard, use RDS db.t4g.micro on Single-AZ for your database, and put CloudFront in front to minimize data transfer costs. A well-optimized small web app can run for $15–40/month on AWS.
