Explore the pricing calculator
The pricing calculator helps you estimate potential Azure expenses. You can access it online and build out a configuration. The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) calculator has been retired.
Pricing calculator
The pricing calculator is designed to give you an estimated cost for provisioning resources in Azure. You can get an estimate for individual resources, build out a solution, or use an example scenario to see an estimate of the Azure spend.
Note
The Pricing calculator is for information purposes only. The prices are only an estimate. Nothing is provisioned when you add resources to the pricing calculator, and you won't be charged for any services you select.
With the pricing calculator, you can estimate the cost of any provisioned resources, including compute, storage, and associated network costs. You can also account for different storage options like storage type, access tier, and redundancy.
Practical example
If you're planning a new web application, you can model one App Service plan, a managed database, and required storage options in the pricing calculator. You can then compare monthly estimates across regions, service tiers, and redundancy options before deployment.
Teams often use this estimate as a baseline for budget approval, then revisit it when architecture decisions change so planned spend stays aligned with implementation.
