Estimate monthly and annualized cloud cost from supplied quantities and unit prices without querying a provider account.

No account or upload requiredRuns in this browser tabEditable draft, not approvalUp to 500 complete rows, 1,000 characters per cell, and 20,000 characters across the planning input.

Operational inputs

Prepare the cloud cost estimate

Define a narrow scope and accountable owner, then enter only current, authorized operational facts. Load the fictional example if you want to inspect the accepted format first.

Estate, service, or change scope0 / 180

Name one bounded environment, service, supplier, change, exercise, or review period. Avoid broad labels such as all IT.

Accountable IT owner0 / 180

Enter the role responsible for validating evidence and approving operational use. A role is safer than personal contact data.

Calculation rows0 / 20,000

Enter Service | Quantity | Monthly unit cost. Use one supplied currency consistently; tax, discounts, support, commitments, and variable usage are not fetched.

Required row orderService | Quantity | Monthly unit cost

Assumptions and evidence0 / 20,000

Record source systems, extraction or pricing date, requirements, dependencies, exclusions, and evidence references. Do not enter secrets.

This browser workspace does not scan a network, connect to provider accounts, inspect controls, approve spend, or apply infrastructure changes.

Transparent method

How the cloud cost estimate works

The tool validates the displayed row grammar and applies only the visible formula to the values you supply. It does not fetch prices, inspect systems, discover topology, or guarantee an operational outcome.

01Confirm the environment or service boundary, accountable role, authoritative sources, review date, dependencies, assumptions, and approval path before entering data.
02Check every asset reference, identity, license, price, count, address, control, status, owner, dependency, rollback step, and evidence reference against the source system.
03Review the calculation review in Markdown with the required security, privacy, finance, architecture, legal, change, service, and business owners before recording it in the official system.

Decision boundary

Planning output is not an authoritative record

Generated rows and estimates are editable review material, not verified inventory, live pricing, availability, capacity, architecture, SLA performance, procurement approval, or vendor assurance.

Operational review

Four checks before operational use

Remove passwords, tokens, private keys, unnecessary personal data, and sensitive production details.
Confirm the source system, extraction or pricing date, scope, owner, assumptions, dependencies, and evidence references.
Validate security, privacy, licensing, finance, architecture, continuity, support, testing, and rollback impacts.
Record approval, exceptions, execution evidence, remediation owners, and due dates in the authorized system of record.
