Total cost of ownership
TCO calculator
Estimate total monthly spend across providers — compute + extra block storage + egress bandwidth — for an equivalent workload spec. List prices, USD, on-demand. Verify before purchase.
Workload
730 = always-on. Use 200 for batch workloads, 50 for occasional CI runners.
Beyond what's included with the instance.

Cost breakdown
Egress reference rates (per TB): AWS $90, GCP $80, Azure $87, DigitalOcean $10, Vultr $10, Linode $5, Hetzner $1.20.
Block storage (per GB-month): hyperscalers ~ $0.10, Azure $0.08, Hetzner $0.048.
These are simplified, US-region averages — production calculations should use the provider's own calculator.
