FAQ

Is this the official AWS Pricing Calculator?

No. This is a quick estimate tool. For full accuracy (regions, requests, NAT, snapshots, etc.), use AWS’s official calculator.

Why do you use 730 hours per month?

730 is the common always-on average (24×365/12). It’s a good default for monthly server costs.

What usually gets underestimated?

Data egress, NAT Gateway, CloudWatch logs/metrics, backups/snapshots, and managed service add-ons.

Can I use this to budget a SaaS MVP?

Yes — it’s good for sanity checks and early budgeting. Re-check with real usage after your first month.
