Work out data warehouse cost instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Modern warehouses separate storage from compute, and compute dominates the bill by a wide margin: sixty terabytes of storage costs under 1,400 a month while 260 compute hours costs over 4,000. That separation is what makes auto-suspend so valuable — idle warehouses cost only storage, so the optimisation target is query efficiency and suspend timers rather than data volume.
Warehouse cost
compute = hours x hourly rate; storage = TB x per-TB-month rate; total = compute + storage
It sits in object storage at commodity rates. Compute is priced on provisioned clusters or slots, which are far more expensive per unit of time.
Auto-suspend with a short timer, plus partitioning and clustering so queries scan less data and finish faster. Both reduce compute hours directly.
