Microsoft Azure offers cloud-based services on a pay-as-you-go basis. Costs are determined by the services you run and amount of time you use them. Different combinations of instance types and sizes have different costs. For more information about services pricing, see Azure pricing(Link opens in a new window). You can estimate your total monthly costs using the Microsoft Azure Pricing Calculator(Link opens in a new window). You can also compare on-premises vs the cloud using the Microsoft Azure Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator(Link opens in a new window).

To help monitor and control usage costs on an ongoing basis, you can set up billing alerts for Microsoft Azure to alert you when your monthly Microsoft Azure costs reach your predefined spending threshold. For more information, see Set up billing or credit alerts for your Microsoft Azure subscriptions(Link opens in a new window) at the Microsoft Azure website.
