Data storageData storage

The cost of 1 GB per month is fixed and does not depend on the number of days in the month.

¹ The daily cost of data storage service is calculated as Cost_of_1_GB_per_month / number_of_days_in_the_month. For shorter months, the storage cost per day is higher. For longer months, it is lower.

Here is an example of proportional calculation. Let's assume a user stores 15 GB of data for 11.5 hours during a 30-day month. The total cost of storage can be calculated using the formula:

Storage_price = Price_per_GB_per_month × 15 × 12 / 24 / 30

² The first 1 GB of data in standard storage per month is free of charge.

For example, if the price per 1 GB of data in standard storage per month is $0.016080, with 23 GB of data stored per month, your monthly data storage cost will be:

(23 − 1) × $0.016080 = 22 × $0.016080 = $0.353760

³ The minimum billable storage time of an object in ice storage is 12 months. If you delete an object that was stored for less than 12 months, you will be charged the remaining cost after deletion.

For example, if the price per 1 GB of data in ice storage per month is $0.004280, and a 3 GB object was in ice storage from January 1 through September 20 (8 months and 20 days), your storage charge will be calculated as follows:

Total from January 1 through September 20

A = 3 × (8 + (20 / 30)) × $0.004280 = (3 × 260 / 30) × $0.004280 = $0.111280

September 20 after deleting the object

B = (3 × 12 × $0.004280) − A = $0.154080 − $0.111280 = $0.042800

Total

A + B = $0.154080

Data operationsData operations

The first 10,000 PUT, POST, PATCH, and LIST operations and the first 100,000 GET, HEAD, and OPTIONS operations in standard storage per month are free of charge.

For example, if the price per 10,000 GET operations in standard storage per month is $0.003120, with 24,500 operations per month, your total monthly cost of data operations will be:

((24,500 − 10,000) / 10,000) × $0.003120 = (14,500 / 10,000) × $0.003120 = $0.004524

Egress trafficEgress traffic

When using the service, you pay for traffic from Yandex Cloud to the internet. Traffic between Yandex Cloud services and incoming internet traffic are free.

The minimum billing unit is 1 MB. The billing period is a calendar month.

The first 100 GB of outgoing traffic per month for Object Storage are free of charge.

For example, if the price per 1 GB of outgoing traffic above 100 GB and up to 1 TB per month is $0.012240, with 283 GB of outgoing traffic per month, your monthly cost will be:

(283 − 100) × $0.012240 = 183 × $0.012240 = $2.239920
