AWS (Amazon Web Services) offers a wide range of cloud computing services, and EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are among the most commonly used resources. Calculating the cost of running EC2 instances can be a complex task, especially when considering different instance types, usage patterns, and pricing options. To simplify this process, we have created an AWS Cost Calculator for EC2 instances.

Formula

The formula for calculating the cost of an EC2 instance is straightforward:

mathematicaCopy code

Total Cost = (Cost per Hour) x (Number of Hours) x (Number of Days)

How to Use

1. Select the EC2 instance type you plan to use from the dropdown list.
2. Enter the number of hours you intend to run the instance.
3. Specify the number of days you plan to use the instance.
4. Click the “Calculate” button to see the estimated cost.

Example

Let’s say you want to estimate the cost of running a “t2.micro” instance for 30 days, 24 hours a day:

• Instance Type: t2.micro
• Hours: 24 (per day)
• Days: 30

Click “Calculate,” and you’ll get the estimated cost displayed.
