Elastic Load Balancing Pricing Calculator - ALB, NLB, GWLB & CLB Costs

Elastic Load Balancing costs are usually a combination of hourly load balancer charges and capacity-unit charges. For ALB, NLB, and GWLB that means paying for the higher of your connection, flow, byte, or rule-evaluation dimensions. Classic Load Balancer charges an hourly rate plus data processed.

Application Load Balancer pricing is based on ALB hours and LCUs, which depend on new connections, active connections, processed bytes, and rule evaluations. Network Load Balancer pricing uses NLB hours and NLCUs, which depend on new flows, active flows, and processed bytes per protocol.

Gateway Load Balancer charges a per-hour load balancer fee plus GLCU usage based on new flows, active flows, and processed bytes. This calculator focuses on the core GWLB meters and excludes Gateway Load Balancer Endpoint pricing.

No. Classic Load Balancer pricing is simpler: you pay a per-hour load balancer charge and a per-GB data processed charge. That makes it easy to compare CLB costs against ALB and NLB for legacy workloads.
