Cloud Data Transfer Cost Calculator

Summary

Enter your data volumes for each transfer type and compare estimated monthly network costs across AWS, GCP, and Azure.

How it works

1. Enter your estimated monthly volume for each transfer type (internet egress, inter-region, cross-AZ, inbound).
2. The calculator applies published per-GB list prices from AWS, GCP, and Azure for each category.
3. Tiered pricing (e.g. first 10 TB vs. next 40 TB) is applied automatically per provider.
4. A cost breakdown table shows per-category and total estimated spend for each provider.
5. The cheapest provider for your traffic mix is highlighted at the top of the results.
6. Adjust any volume to model growth scenarios or traffic mix changes.

Use cases

• Budget the full networking line item for a new SaaS product before launch.
• Compare total network costs when choosing a cloud provider for a data-heavy workload.
• Estimate the cost impact of a microservices architecture with high inter-service traffic.
• Understand how cross-AZ traffic fees add up in high-availability multi-AZ deployments.
• Model the cost difference between keeping data in one region vs. a multi-region setup.
• Plan cloud spend for a media platform with large outbound video delivery volumes.
• Identify which transfer type is driving the majority of your network bill.
