Which billing dimensions apply?
us-east-1list rates, pricing as of 2026-06-26. Gateway endpoints for S3/DynamoDB are free and not modeled. VPN, Direct Connect, and VPC Lattice excluded. Source: AWS public pricing.
The VPC itself is free. Select every attached resource and data path you pay for.
Who This Tool Is For
Network architects and FinOps leads auditing VPC-adjacent spend after the February 2024 public IPv4 charge.
Why We Built This Tool
Subnets and security groups are free, but every public IP, Interface Endpoint per AZ, and inter-AZ byte adds up — often to $500–$2,000/month on a modest production VPC.
What Problem It Solves
- IPv4 inventory. Every attached and unattached public IPv4 bills $3.60/month since February 2024.
- Endpoint multiplication. Interface Endpoints charge per service per AZ — 10 services × 3 AZs = $216/month before data.
- Inter-AZ chatter. Microservices in different AZs pay $0.01/GB each way on every cross-AZ call.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do these VPC prices come from?
AWS published us-east-1 list prices (AWS VPC pricing), pricing as of 2026-06-26.
Why am I paying $3.60 per IPv4 address per month?
AWS introduced a charge for all public IPv4 addresses in February 2024 — $0.005/hour ($3.60/month) per address, attached or unattached. Consolidate behind ALBs and release orphaned Elastic IPs.
Are Gateway VPC Endpoints really free?
Yes. Gateway Endpoints for S3 and DynamoDB have no hourly or per-GB charge. Every VPC with S3 or DynamoDB traffic should have them — they eliminate NAT processing for that traffic.
When does Transit Gateway pay off vs VPC Peering?
Peering is free to create; same-region data transfer is $0.01/GB each way. Transit Gateway charges $36/month per VPC attachment plus $0.02/GB. Peering wins below ~5–10 VPCs needing connectivity; TGW wins on operational simplicity at scale.
What does inter-AZ data transfer cost?
Traffic between AZs in the same region bills $0.01/GB in each direction. Use topology-aware routing and place chatty service pairs in the same AZ where latency allows.
How is NAT Gateway different from this calculator?
This calculator includes NAT as one line item. For dedicated NAT modeling with cross-AZ hairpin traffic, use the NAT Gateway Pricing Calculator.
