Amazon SES Pricing Calculator - Outbound, Inbound, Mail Manager & VDM

Amazon SES pricing calculator for outbound and inbound email, Virtual Deliverability Manager, dedicated IPs, BYOIP, tenants, email validation, and Mail Manager. Estimate current monthly SES costs across AWS regions with optional free tier support.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a message charge in Amazon SES?

A single outbound email counts as one SES message charge. A single inbound email also counts as one message charge. If you enable Virtual Deliverability Manager (VDM), each outbound email adds another message charge for VDM processing.

How does the SES free tier work?

This calculator models the stable SES free tier of 3,000 eligible message charges per month. Those credits reduce eligible outbound, inbound, and VDM message charges modeled here, but they do not reduce attachment data, inbound chunk processing, dedicated IP fees, tenant charges, Mail Manager charges, or email validation fees.

Why can managed dedicated IP pricing become unavailable?

The official AWS SES pricing page lists managed dedicated IP pricing through 100 million emails per month. Above that threshold AWS currently shows Contact us instead of a public rate, so this calculator fails closed instead of guessing a price.

What Mail Manager charges are included here?

This tool includes open ingress endpoints, email processing, incoming email chunks, extra recipients for Send to Internet, archive ingestion, and archive storage. It does not model custom-priced Mail Manager add-ons or Deliverability Expert Services.
