AWS Credit Calculator
Estimate the AWS credit account you need for your workload.
Not sure how much AWS credit your project needs? This calculator estimates the right credit tier based on your monthly compute, storage, and how many months of runway you want. Enter your numbers and we'll recommend the AWS credit account that fits — so you don't overpay or run short.
How the calculator works
Enter your estimated monthly AWS spend and the number of months you want covered. The calculator multiplies them to estimate total credit needed, then matches you to the closest AWS credit account tier from our catalog.
Why estimate credit first
Buying the right credit tier saves money. Too little means topping up sooner; too much ties up budget. A quick estimate based on your real usage points you to the most cost-effective account.
Using your credit wisely
Once you have an account, stretch the credit with spot instances, right-sized resources, and billing alerts. The credit applies automatically against EC2, S3, SageMaker, and the rest of the AWS catalog.
Frequently Asked
Multiply your estimated monthly AWS spend by the months you want covered. For example, $300/month for 6 months suggests a $1,000–$2,000 credit account.
