AWS IoT Core Pricing Calculator - Connectivity, Messaging, Shadows & Rules

AWS IoT Core pricing calculator for core IoT workloads. Estimate monthly connectivity, MQTT and HTTP messaging, Device Shadow and Registry, and Rules Engine costs by region with free tier support.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this AWS IoT Core pricing calculator?

This calculator uses official AWS IoT Core pricing data from the AWS public pricing API. It covers the core billable families: connectivity, MQTT and HTTP messaging, Device Shadow and Registry operations, and Rules Engine usage. It does not estimate LoRaWAN, Sidewalk, Device Location, or downstream AWS service costs.

How are IoT Core messages metered?

AWS IoT Core meters MQTT and HTTP messages in 5 KB increments. An 8 KB message counts as two metered messages. Basic Ingest reserved-topic messages are excluded from MQTT and HTTP messaging charges, so this calculator focuses on billable published and delivered messaging volume.

What is included in the AWS IoT Core Free Tier?

New AWS accounts receive monthly free tier usage for IoT Core connection minutes, messages, Device Shadow or Registry operations, and Rules Engine rules and actions during the first 12 months. The calculator can apply those allowances to show the remaining billable usage.

Catch AWS cost mistakes before they ship.

Use the calculator for quick estimates, then use CloudBurn when you need a deterministic cost review workflow. Run scan against Terraform and CloudFormation before deploy, then run discover against live AWS to find the waste that is already burning.
