Pricing Calculator
A free tool to estimate the cost of Azure services before you deploy them.
The Azure Pricing Calculator is a free, web-based tool that lets you select any combination of Azure services, configure their settings (region, tier, usage hours, storage size), and see an estimated monthly cost before deploying any resources. You can save and share estimates, making it useful for budgeting and stakeholder sign-off. The key exam distinction is scope: the Pricing Calculator forecasts hypothetical future spend, while Azure Cost Management reports actual, historical spending on resources already deployed. Separately, the TCO Calculator compares on-premises costs against Azure to build a migration business case.
