RPS to Monthly Requests Calculator

If you think in RPS, convert to monthly requests to estimate request-based fees and plan capacity.

Inputs

Requests per second (RPS)
Utilization (%)
Use this to model peak vs average traffic.
Hours/day

Results

Monthly requests (est.)
2,298,240,000
Assumptions
2,500 RPS × 35% × 24 h/day

Example scenario

  • 2,500 RPS at 35% utilization, 24 hours/day → estimate monthly requests.

Included

  • Monthly request estimate from RPS, utilization, and hours/day.
  • Useful for request-metered services (API gateways, CDNs, serverless).

Not included

  • Seasonality, bursty peak shapes, and retries (use scenarios).
  • Bandwidth/egress (model separately using transfer tools).

How we calculate

  • Requests per month ≈ RPS × utilization × seconds in the period.
  • Seconds ≈ 30.4 days × hours/day × 3600.
  • This is a simplified estimate: real traffic varies by seasonality and peaks.

FAQ

Should I use average or peak RPS?
Use average RPS for cost planning, and model peak separately for capacity and scaling.
What does utilization mean here?
It’s how much of the time you’re near the given RPS (e.g., 30% if you’re at peak only part of the day).
