Object Storage Cost Calculator
Object storage costs usually come from stored data and request volume. Use this calculator to estimate the blended monthly cost with your workload assumptions.
Inputs
Average stored (GB)
Storage price ($ / GB-month)
GET requests (per month)
PUT requests (per month)
GET price ($ / 1k)
PUT price ($ / 1k)
Results
Estimated monthly total

Inputs summary
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Average stored | 5,000 GB |
| GET requests | 5,000,000 |
| PUT requests | 500,000 |
Example scenario
- 5,000 GB stored, plus 5M GET and 500k PUT requests at your request pricing → estimate monthly cost.
Included
- Storage cost estimate from average GB stored and $/GB-month pricing.
- Request cost estimate for GET and PUT from request counts and per‑1k pricing.
Not included
- Retrieval fees, lifecycle transitions, replication, and tiered pricing (model separately).
- Bandwidth/egress charges (use Data Egress Cost Calculator).
How we calculate
- Storage cost = average stored GB × storage price per GB-month.
- Request cost = (requests ÷ 1,000) × price per 1,000 for each request type.
- This simplified model excludes retrieval fees, lifecycle transitions, replication, and tiered pricing.
FAQ
Why use average stored GB?
Billing is typically per GB-month. If your storage grows over the month, use the average (midpoint) rather than the end-of-month number.
Do egress costs belong here?
Not in this tool. Use the Data Egress Cost Calculator for bandwidth-based costs.
What about different storage classes?
Different classes (standard, infrequent access, archive) can have different storage, request, and retrieval pricing. Model each class separately if needed.
