Edge Compute Cost Calculator

Cost an edge function platform on per-million requests plus CPU milliseconds, after the allowances your plan includes.

Step by step

Values used
Requests per month = 250 million; CPU time per request = 8 ms; Price per million requests = 0.3000 USD; Price per million CPU-milliseconds = 0.0200 USD; Requests included in the plan = 10 million; CPU-milliseconds included = 30 million; Plan fee = 5 USD/month
Edge Compute Cost
cost = plan fee + max(0, requests − included) × request price + max(0, requests × CPU ms per request − included CPU ms) × CPU price.
Monthly Cost
= 116.40
Request Charge
= 72.00
CPU Time Charge
= 39.40
CPU Share of the Bill
= 33.8
Billable Requests
= 240.00 million
CPU Time Consumed
= 2,000.00 million ms

How it works

Edge platforms meter two independent things: how often your code is invoked and how much processor time each invocation burns. Both meters start only after the plan's included allowance is used up, so a low-volume function can be free while a CPU-heavy one is dominated by the millisecond charge rather than the request charge. Knowing which meter dominates tells you what to optimise — batching or caching cuts request count, while trimming JSON parsing and crypto work cuts CPU milliseconds. Rates and included allowances change with plan tiers, so confirm the current figures with the provider before you budget.

Formula

Edge Compute Cost

cost = plan fee + max(0, requests − included) × request price + max(0, requests × CPU ms per request − included CPU ms) × CPU price.

included allowance: Requests and CPU milliseconds the plan fee already covers
CPU ms per request: Billed processor time, excluding time spent awaiting subrequests
billable requests: Requests above the included allowance

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Edge Compute Cost calculated?

cost = plan fee + max(0, requests − included) × request price + max(0, requests × CPU ms per request − included CPU ms) × CPU price. Edge platforms meter two independent things: how often your code is invoked and how much processor time each invocation burns. Both meters start only after the plan's included allowance is used up, so a low-volume function can be free while a CPU-heavy one is dominated by the millisecond charge rather than the request charge.

Why does Edge Compute Cost matter?

Knowing which meter dominates tells you what to optimise — batching or caching cuts request count, while trimming JSON parsing and crypto work cuts CPU milliseconds. Rates and included allowances change with plan tiers, so confirm the current figures with the provider before you budget.

What values do I need to enter?

This calculator takes 7 inputs: Requests per month, CPU time per request, Price per million requests, Price per million CPU-milliseconds, Requests included in the plan, CPU-milliseconds included, Plan fee. The pre-filled defaults are a realistic starting point — replace them with figures from your own environment for a result you can act on.
