Kubernetes Cost Estimator
Configure your cluster, pick your cloud providers, and get instant monthly cost estimates with side-by-side comparisons — all calculated in your browser.
Select Cloud Provider(s)
Select one or more providers for side-by-side comparison.
How It Works
Pick Providers
Select one or more cloud providers to compare. Choose from AWS EKS, Google GKE, Azure AKS, or self-managed Kubernetes.
Configure Cluster
Set your K8s version, node count, instance size, region, and add-ons. The estimator uses real-world pricing data for each provider.
Compare Costs
Get a detailed monthly breakdown with control plane, compute, networking, storage, and add-on costs side by side. Copy results as Markdown.
FAQ
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser using JavaScript. Your cluster configuration never leaves your device. The only network requests are badge image fetches from our badge service.
How accurate are these estimates?
Estimates use approximate on-demand pricing and typical cost structures for each provider. Actual costs vary based on reserved instances, committed use discounts, spot/preemptible nodes, data transfer patterns, and provider-specific credits. Use these as planning-grade estimates.
What costs are included?
Control plane fees, worker node compute, persistent storage (50 GB per node), networking (load balancer, NAT gateway, inter-AZ traffic), and resource overhead from selected add-ons. Egress, DNS queries, and logging/monitoring SaaS costs are not included.
What do the cost grades mean?
Grade A: under $500/month (small clusters). Grade B: $500–$1,500 (medium workloads). Grade C: $1,500–$5,000 (production-scale). Grade D: $5,000–$15,000 (large deployments). Grade F: over $15,000/month (enterprise-scale, consider reserved pricing).
