Examples of cost calculations with free tier
Usage cost is calculated based on the pricing plans of the relevant service and does not include the amount of services provided for free. Here is an example:
Calculation of function usage cost
Example of calculating the cost of a function that has:
- Memory specified when creating the version: 512 MB
- Number of function calls: 10,000,000
- Execution time of each call: 800 ms
Function cost calculation:
5.47 × ((512 / 1,024) × (800 / 3,600,000) × 10,000,000 – 10) + 16 × ((10,000,000 – 1,000,000) / 1,000,000)
Total: ₽6,167.08
Where:
- 5.47 is the price for 1 GB×hour.
- 512 / 1,024 converts MB to GB, as execution time is calculated in GB×hour.
- 800 / 3,600,000 converts milliseconds to hours, as execution time is calculated in GB×hour.
- 10,000,000 is the number of function calls.
- 10 is subtracted because the first 10 GB×hour are free.
- 16: Cost per 1 million function calls.
- 10,000,000 is the number of function calls.
- 1,000,000 is subtracted because the first million invocations are free of charge.
- 1,000,000 is the divisor used to calculate the number of millions of function calls.
Calculation of API gateway usage cost
Let's assume, you created an API gateway that processed 10,000,000 requests over HTTPS.
The cost of this API gateway will be:
120 × ((10,000,000 – 100,000) / 1,000,000) = ₽1,188
Where:
- 120: Price per 1 million API gateway calls.
- 10,000,000: Number of requests over HTTPS.
- 100,000 is subtracted because the first one hundred thousand calls are free of charge.
- 1,000,000 is the divisor used to calculate the number of millions of requests over HTTPS.
Calculation of Yandex IoT Core usage cost
Calculation of the cost of usage for Yandex IoT Core if during a month:
- 2,000,000 commands were sent.
- The size of each command was 1,500 B.
(1,500 / 1,024) × 2,000,000
4,000,000 messages were sent in total.
According to the pricing policy:
- 100,000 messages are free of charge.
- 900,000 messages are rated at ₽115.2 per million messages.
- 3,000,000 messages are rated at ₽104 per million messages.
The cost is calculated as follows:
900,000 / 1,000,000 × ₽115.2 + 3,000,000/1,000,000 × ₽104
Total: ₽415.68
