Our reproducible cost scenarios

Authored calculations for this exact plan, not measured invoices or provider quotations. USD, before tax; no credits or other resources. Recalculate with the linked rates if terms change.

  1. Monthly backup budget

    Base 12.00 × 20% = 2.40 extra for basic weekly backups; total 14.40/month. Basic daily backups at 30% give 15.60/month. Usage-based backups are a separate option.

  2. Transfer overage budget

    Scenario: the team exceeds its accrued included outbound pool by 100 GiB. 100 × USD 0.01/GiB = USD 1.00 extra; this plan’s full base plus that charge = USD 13.00. This is team-level excess, not 100 GiB above an isolated VM allowance.

    Source: Bandwidth Billing, paragraphs 1–2; included transfer for this plan: 2,000 GiB.

  3. Power-off is not cancellation

    Scenario: a newly created instance stays reserved but powered off for 24 hours, then is destroyed. 24 × USD 0.01786/hour = approximately USD 0.43, within the monthly base cap USD 12.00. The provider bills by seconds; the displayed hourly rate and cent rounding make this a budget estimate. Powering off saves no reserved compute charge; destroying ends future instance billing. Separate backups or other resources are outside this example.
