Frequently Asked Questions
Where do these prices come from?
On-Demand rates are AWS published us-east-1 Linux list prices (pricing as of 2026-07-09). Spot figures are directional and weighted by interruption risk bands. Reserved values use standard planning discounts (1-year ≈ 40% off, 3-year ≈ 60% off).
Does this include EBS or data transfer?
No — this tool covers EC2 compute only. Use related tools for storage and network line items.
How accurate is this estimate?
On-Demand aligns closely with AWS Pricing Calculator. Spot and Reserved outputs are directional planning values.
