To get estimates for your planned Google Cloud workloads, use the Google Cloud pricing calculator to get an idea of the costs for hypothetical workloads. For example, if you want to budget for a new application, the tool helps you estimate how much the infrastructure for the application might cost every month.
With the pricing calculator, you can estimate costs for a wide range of Google Cloud services and products.
Optional: Link your Cloud Billing account to the pricing calculator
