Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this S3 pricing calculator?

This S3 pricing calculator uses official AWS pricing data updated regularly from Amazon's public pricing API. It accounts for regional pricing differences, tiered storage rates, and free tier benefits. For production budgets, verify final costs in the AWS Billing console since pricing occasionally changes.

How do I compare S3 storage class costs?

This calculator compares costs across all S3 storage classes automatically. Enter your storage amount and access pattern, then view the Storage Classes comparison section to see monthly costs for Standard, Standard-IA, One Zone-IA, Glacier Instant, and Intelligent-Tiering side-by-side.

How do I calculate S3 storage costs manually?

Storage costs = GB stored × storage class rate (varies by region and tier). Add request costs (PUT/GET) charged per 1,000 requests, plus data transfer out charges after the first 100 GB/month free tier. This S3 pricing calculator automates these calculations.

Which S3 storage class should I use?

Use S3 Standard for frequently accessed data. For data accessed less than once a month, S3 Standard-IA or S3 One Zone-IA offer lower storage costs with retrieval fees. S3 Intelligent-Tiering is ideal when access patterns are unpredictable.

What's included in the S3 Free Tier?

New AWS accounts get 5 GB of S3 Standard storage, 2,000 PUT requests, and 20,000 GET requests free each month for 12 months. Data transfer out (100 GB/month) is shared across all AWS services.

Why are request costs significant?

S3 charges for every API request. PUT requests (uploads) cost more than GET requests (downloads). For workloads with many small files, request costs can exceed storage costs. Consider consolidating small files or using S3 Batch Operations.

Tip

Stop AWS bill surprises from happening.

Most infrastructure changes look harmless until you see next month's AWS bill. CloudBurn prevents this by analyzing the cost impact of your AWS CDK changes directly in GitHub pull requests, catching expensive mistakes during code review when fixes are quick, not weeks later when they're costly and risky.
