Service Charges or Fees
AWS offers you a pay-as-you-go approach. With AWS you pay only for the individual services you need, for as long as you use them, and without requiring long-term contracts or complex licensing. AWS pricing is similar to how you pay for utilities like water and electricity. You only pay for the services you consume, and once you stop using them, there are no additional costs or termination fees.SRC account owners are billed on a quarterly basis and pay a direct pass-through cost from AWS. In other words, you only pay for what you use. There are 2 types of costs, static and hourly. The total pass-through cost will be a sum of both.
- Examples of fixed or static costs: Storage, Backups, Networking, Security
- Examples of variable or hourly costs: Total hours (billed by the second) that the server is running.
Example Instance 1 (Basic)
- Static Monthly Costs: $53
- Windows hourly cost: $0.111
- Amazon Linux hourly cost: $0.0832
Example Instance 2 (Memory intense)
- Static Monthly Costs: $95
- Windows hourly costs: $0.436
- Amazon Linux hourly cost: $0.252
Example Instance 3 (Memory intense + high storage)
- Static Monthly Costs: $155
- Windows hourly costs: $0.436
- Amazon Linux hourly cost: $0.252
The bill is charged to a COA or POET string. Each account is integrated with cost monitoring, projection, and reporting tools. Please consult the official AWS Pricing Calculator for more precise cost estimates.
