Put a clear basis behind compute cost.
Model warehouse and capacity compute using your own contracted rates. Nothing here fetches vendor prices or connects to a cloud account.

01
Warehouse compute estimate
Estimate compute from your warehouse consumption and contracted credit price.
Enter your assumptions, then calculate.
Formula: Credits per active hour × price per credit × active hours per month
Compute only. Enter your contracted price and measured consumption. Storage, cloud services, concurrency effects and other charges are excluded; no vendor prices are fetched.
02
Capacity compute estimate
Apply your hourly capacity price, active hours and documented discount.
Enter your assumptions, then calculate.
Formula: Capacity hourly price × active hours × (1 − discount / 100)
The example is not Microsoft pricing. This estimates compute only and excludes storage, licenses and other charges. Use a discount only when it applies to the entered price.

Migration payback
Compare a one-time migration cost with your projected monthly cost change. Keep the evidence and uncertainty beside the calculation.
Estimate simple paybackMake the assumptions useful
- Record the contract, region and date behind your rate.
- Separate active compute from storage and license charges.
- Check whether a discount is already included in the price.
- Revisit utilization assumptions when the workload changes.

Your data and calculation method
Inputs, results and notes are processed in this browser. No scenario data is uploaded. Save stores one scenario per hub in this browser profile; anyone using the profile may be able to read it. Delete saved removes that copy. Exported files remain yours to manage.
Exact decimal inputs; rational arithmetic; final result rounded to 2 places, half away from zero. Blank inputs stay unknown. Each calculator uses the units shown; money is USD and no currency conversion is performed.
