AWS Cost Savings Calculator
Find out how much you could save on your AWS bill. Most companies we work with reduce costs by 20–40% within 90 days.
What is your current monthly AWS spend?
Include all AWS services: EC2, RDS, S3, networking, and support costs.
Not sure? Check your AWS Cost Explorer or Billing Dashboard for last month's total. Average mid-market company spends $8k–$50k/month.
Who This Tool Is For
Engineering managers, CTOs, and FinOps leads at companies spending $8,000–$500,000/month on AWS who don't have a dedicated cloud finance team. If you're wondering whether your cloud spend is out of control, this calculator gives you a fast benchmark.
Why We Built This Tool
Over 100 AWS consulting engagements taught us that most companies can't articulate their cost baseline. They see the bill, they know it's high, but they don't know how much of that is recoverable vs. necessary. This calculator solves that. Instead of asking prospects to spend 2 weeks preparing for a discovery call, we give them an instant answer. And it's built from real client data—not vendor marketing.
What Problem It Solves
- No baseline. Most AWS cost reviews start with a vague "we think we're overspending" guess. This gives you a number.
- Sales-pitch fear. Other cost calculators are lead magnets for AWS resellers. This one is free, no strings, no follow-up unless you ask.
- Missing breakdown. Knowing you can save 20% is useless without knowing where. This breaks it down by service and category.
- Frozen decision-making. Finance and engineering can't agree on cost priorities. A shared estimate unblocks internal conversations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the "annual savings"?
Our estimate assumes optimization across Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, right-sizing, storage tier optimization, and cleanup of orphaned resources. It's based on average results from 100+ client engagements, so your actual savings may differ. We'll give you a more precise number if you book a free consultation.
Do I have to enter my AWS credentials or account ID?
No. This is a self-service calculator that uses only your monthly spend estimate and service mix. Your AWS account stays completely private. We never read your actual cloud data unless you book a paid engagement.
How accurate is this estimate?
±15%. Our estimate is calibrated to real client savings benchmarks, but every AWS footprint is different. Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, and instance family mix all affect the final number. If you want a line-item analysis, submit your email for the full report or book a discovery session.
