Billing Examples

Assume that you created a pay-per-use enterprise router at 12:25:30 on July 6, 2023 and created two attachments to it later:
  • You created a VPC attachment at 12:36:00 on July 6, 2023 and deleted it at 18:50:00 on July 7, 2023. A total of 532-GB traffic was used by this attachment.
  • You created a virtual gateway attachment at 13:01:00 on July 6, 2023 and deleted it at 18:55:00 on July 7, 2023. A total of 1,300 GB traffic was used by this attachment.
In this example, each attachment costs $0.06 USD/hour, and the unit price of traffic is $0.02 USD/GB. Figure 1 shows how the total price is calculated, and Table 2 describes the price of each billed item.

VPC attachment

From 12:36:30 on July 06, 2023 to 18:50:00 on July 07, 2023

The VPC attachment is used for 30 hours and 14 minutes. The total duration is 31 hours because pricing is listed on a per-hour basis.

  • From 12:36:00 on July 06, 2023 to 13:00:00 on July 06, 2023: 1 hour
  • From 13:00:00 on July 06, 2023 to 18:00:00 on July 07, 2023: 29 hours
  • From 18:00:00 on July 07, 2023 to 18:50:00 on July 07, 2023: 1 hour
  • Attachment price: $0.06 USD x 31 hours = $1.86 USD
  • Traffic price: $0.02 USD x 532 GB = $10.64 USD

$1.86 USD + $10.64 USD = $12.5 USD

Virtual gateway attachment

From 13:01:00 on July 06, 2023 to 18:55:00 on July 07, 2023

The virtual gateway attachment is used for 29 hours and 54 minutes. The total duration is 30 hours because pricing is listed on a per-hour basis.

  • From 13:01:00 on July 06, 2023 to 14:00:00 on July 06, 2023: 1 hour
  • From 14:00:00 on July 06, 2023 to 18:00:00 on July 07, 2023: 28 hours
  • From 18:00:00 on July 07, 2023 to 18:55:00 on July 07, 2023: 1 hour
  • Attachment price: $0.06 USD × 30 hours = $1.8 USD
  • Traffic price: $0.02 USD × 1,300 GB = $26 USD

$1.8 USD + $26 USD = $27.8 USD
