About

What is Amazon S3?

Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is AWS's object storage service used for backups, media hosting, data lakes, and application storage. S3 pricing depends on the storage class you choose, the AWS region, how much data you store, how many requests you make, and how much data you transfer out to the internet. This calculator helps you estimate your monthly and yearly S3 bill in seconds — no AWS account or console access required.

02

Select Your AWS Region

Pick the AWS region your bucket lives in, since per-GB and per-request pricing varies slightly by region.

03

Enter Storage & Transfer

Add how much data you store each month and how much data leaves S3 to the internet as data transfer out.

04

Add Your Request Counts

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the S3 Cost Calculator.

What is Amazon S3?
+
Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a cloud object storage service from AWS used to store and retrieve any amount of data, such as backups, images, videos, logs, and application data, from anywhere on the web.
How is S3 pricing calculated?
+
S3 pricing combines several factors: storage cost per GB per month based on your chosen storage class, request costs per 1,000 PUT/GET requests, data transfer out charges, and retrieval fees for Infrequent Access or Glacier tiers. This calculator adds all of these together for an estimated total.
Does AWS charge for GET requests?
+
Yes. AWS charges a small fee per 1,000 GET/SELECT requests. The rate is very low for S3 Standard but higher for Infrequent Access and Glacier storage classes, since those classes are optimized for storage cost rather than frequent access.
How much does S3 storage cost?
+
Storage costs range from roughly $0.023 per GB per month for S3 Standard down to about $0.001 per GB per month for Glacier Deep Archive. Exact pricing depends on your AWS region and can change over time.
Which S3 storage class is cheapest?
+
S3 Glacier Deep Archive has the lowest per-GB storage price and is ideal for data you rarely need to access, such as long-term compliance archives. However, it has the highest retrieval cost and longest retrieval time, so it isn't ideal for frequently accessed data.
