Google Cloud Cost Optimization Calculator

Model Google Cloud Committed Use Discounts, rightsizing, persistent disk, and egress savings on list pricing. Published-list estimate only. The math runs in your browser — your numbers never leave this page.

Assumptions

Computed on your device. No accounts, no bill upload, nothing sent to a server or any vendor.

Scenario result

Worked example

Example inputs: a fixed Google Cloud scenario, evaluated by the same engine used by this calculator.

The modeled baseline is $50,837.40/mo; the bounded scenario models $17,220.95/mo in savings and ends at $33,616.45/mo.

SignalResult
Scenario monthly cost$33,616.45/mo
Modeled monthly change$17,220.95/mo savings
rightsize compute$3,545.61/mo — compute -15% (applied first)
storage migration$2,100.00/mo — 30000 GB pd_ssd→pd_balanced
reduce egress$3,840.00/mo — egress -40% (tiered recompute)
commit:cud 3yr$7,735.34/mo — 70% of rightsized compute @ ~55% (scenario)

Example inputs only, not a quote or your bill. Static output is generated from the real calculator engine at build date 2026-09-14 and carries the same valid-before boundary 2026-10-12. If source evidence becomes stale or the example contains an unpriced resource, this block suppresses the computed total instead of publishing a confident number.

Decision guidance

Google Cloud cost decisions this calculator can test

This page models Compute Engine, persistent disk, snapshots, network egress, and Committed Use Discount scenarios using representative us-central1 prices. It recomputes tiered meters and applies commitment coverage only after removable capacity has been taken out.

Questions it answers

  • What Compute Engine baseline remains after rightsizing the current machine mix?
  • Which persistent-disk or snapshot changes move a real storage meter rather than only changing architecture?
  • How does lower network egress change the bill after the free allowance and price tiers are recomputed?

When it returns zero or refuses a claim

  • An unverified machine type or disk product suppresses the total rather than borrowing a neighboring SKU price.
  • Storage migrations that exceed the source inventory or move to a costlier class are rejected.
  • Committed Use Discount coverage is applied last; the page warns when the pre-rightsize baseline would create overcommitment risk.

Verify against your invoice

  • Match machine types, counts, and hours to Cloud Billing export rows for Compute Engine.
  • Match persistent-disk and snapshot quantities to their billing SKUs rather than estimating from logical volume size alone.
  • Check network egress destination and tier, then compare CUD coverage with the stable post-rightsize hourly baseline.

The calculator remains a published-list scenario, not a quote or your actual bill. Use the source links and invoice lines below before acting.
