**Table 1** GaussDB billing items
Billing Item	Description	Billing Mode	Formula
*DB instance	Billed by instance specifications, including vCPUs and memory. Computing and storage capabilities vary by the number of vCPUs and memory size.	Yearly/Monthly and pay-per-use	Unit price of a single node x Required duration x Number of billed nodes The unit price of a single node varies depending on the instance specifications. For details, see section "Specification Price" in GaussDB Pricing Details. NOTE: Number of billed nodes = Number of coordinator nodes (CNs) + Number of data nodes (DNs) Independent deployment: If you retain the default configurations for an instance, including three shards (each containing three replicas, namely, three DNs) and three CNs, there will be a total of nine DNs in the instance, and the number of billed nodes is 12 (3 CNs + 9 DNs). HA (1 primary + 2 standby): There are three DNs in an instance, and the number of billed nodes is 3.
*Storage space	Billed by storage type and capacity based on unified standards.	Yearly/Monthly and pay-per-use	Unit price of the storage space x Required duration x Storage capacity (GB) For details about the unit price of the storage space, see section "Storage Space Price" in GaussDB Pricing Details.
Backup space	Billed based on unified standards.	Pay-per-use	Unit price of the backup space x Billed duration x (Backup capacity – Storage capacity) (GB) For details about the unit price of the backup space, see section "Backup Storage Price" in GaussDB Pricing Details. NOTE: The billed duration refers to the length of time the billed backup space was used for.
EIP bandwidth	An EIP is required if a DB instance needs to access the Internet. Billed by bandwidth, traffic, and the EIP reservation price. EIP for a yearly/monthly DB instance: billed by bandwidth. EIP for a pay-per-use DB instance: billed by bandwidth, traffic, or shared bandwidth. You are also charged for IP reservation if you do not bind the EIP to any instance.	Yearly/Monthly and pay-per-use You can purchase a bandwidth add-on package or a shared traffic package.	Tiered pricing based on fixed bandwidth 0 Mbit/s to 5 Mbit/s (included): billed at a fixed unit price per Mbit/s Greater than 5 Mbit/s: billed at a different price per Mbit/s For details about the unit price, see section "Bandwidth Price" in ECS Pricing Details, or see EIP Pricing Details.
