Billing Examples

Billing Example (Attachments and Downstream Traffic)

Assume that you created a pay-per-use enterprise router at 12:25:30 on July 6, 2023 and created two attachments for it:
  • 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 downstream 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 downstream traffic was used by this attachment.

The enterprise router is free. You are billed for how long each attachment is used and the downstream traffic each attachment uses to communicate with the enterprise router.

In this example, each attachment costs $0.06 USD/hour, and the unit price of the downstream traffic is $0.02 USD/GB. Figure 1 shows how the total price is calculated.

VPC attachment

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

The VPC attachment was used for 30 hours and 14 minutes. A partial hour is calculated as a full hour, so you will be billed for 31 hours.

  • 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
  • Downstream 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 was used for 29 hours and 54 minutes. A partial hour is calculated as a full hour, so you will be billed for 30 hours.

  • 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
  • Downstream traffic price: $0.02 USD × 1,300 GB = $26 USD

$1.8 USD + $26 USD = $27.8 USD
