Compute Engine pricing

This page lists all the pricing for Compute Engine.

Compute Engine charges for usage based on the following price sheet. A bill is sent out at the end of each billing cycle, providing a sum of Google Cloud charges. Prices on this page are listed in U.S. dollars (USD).

For Compute Engine, disk size, machine type memory, and network usage are calculated in gigabytes (GB), where 1 GB is 2³⁰ bytes. This unit of measurement is also known as a gibibyte (GiB).

If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on Cloud Platform SKUs apply.

You can also find pricing information with the following options:

• See the estimated costs of your instances and Compute Engine resources when you create them in the Google Cloud console.
• Estimate your total project costs with the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator.
• View and download prices from the Pricing Table in the Google Cloud console.
• View more information about costs and usage in Cloud Billing reports.
• Use the Cloud Billing Catalog API for programmatic access to SKU information.
