Managing costs in a cloud environment is crucial for businesses, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is no exception. To help you estimate your OCI expenses accurately, we have developed the OCI Cost Calculator, a simple yet effective tool that allows you to calculate your projected costs based on usage and pricing.
Formula: To calculate the cost, the OCI Cost Calculator multiplies the usage (in hours) by the cost per hour (in USD). The result is the total estimated cost for your OCI resources.
How to Use:
- Enter the number of hours you plan to use OCI resources in the “OCI Usage (in hours)” field.
- Input the cost per hour for your OCI resources in the “Cost Per Hour (in USD)” field.
- Click the “Calculate” button.
- The calculator will display the total cost estimate for your OCI usage.
Example: Suppose you intend to use OCI resources for 100 hours, and the cost per hour is $0.50. After entering these values and clicking “Calculate,” the tool will show a total cost estimate of $50.00.
