This page lists all the pricing for Compute Engine.
Compute Engine charges for usage based on the following price sheet. A bill
is sent out at the end of each billing cycle, providing a sum of Google Cloud
charges. Prices on this page are listed in U.S. dollars (USD).
For Compute Engine, disk size, machine type memory, and network usage
are calculated in JEDEC binary gigabytes (GB), or IEC gibibytes (GiB), where 1 GiB
is 230 bytes. Similarly, 1 TiB is
240 bytes, or 1024 JEDEC GBs.
If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on
Cloud Platform SKUs
apply.
You can also find pricing information with the following options:
See the estimated costs of your instances and Compute Engine
resources when you create them in the Google Cloud console.

N4 standard machine types
The following table shows the calculated costs for standard predefined machine
types in the N4 machine family. The vCPUs and memory from each of these
machine types are billed by their individual
predefined vCPU and memory prices, but these tables provide
the cost that you can expect using a specific machine type.
Standard machine types have 4 GB of memory per vCPU.
If your ideal machine shape is in between two predefined types, using a custom machine type could save you as much as 40%. For more information, see
Custom vCPU and memory

machine types. The vCPUs and memory from each of these
machine types are billed by their individual predefined vCPU and memory
prices, but these tables provide the cost that you can expect
using a specific machine type.
High-memory machine types have 8 GB of memory per vCPU. High-memory instances
are ideal for tasks that require more memory relative to virtual CPUs.

N4 custom vCPUs and memory
Custom machine types let you set a specific number of vCPUs and GB of
memory for your instances to match the needs of your workload.
Custom machine types save you the cost of running on a larger and more
expensive machine type if your application does not require all of the resources
provided by that machine type.

N4 extended custom memory
For custom machine types, any memory up to and including
8 GB of memory per vCPU is charged at the standard
custom vCPU and memory pricing rate. Any memory
above 8 GB per vCPU is charged according to the following extended memory prices.
To learn how to create instances with custom machine types and extended memory,

Calculating Costs
See below examples to understand how to calculate software costs under the new pricing model:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux software cost calculation
Instance Size
[Current] Instance Hour Price Model
[New] Core Hour Pricing Model (effective July 1, 2024)
With this price update, RHEL and RHEL for SAP subscriptions costs will scale linearly with machine size.
Instances with 12 vCPUs or less are expected to see equivalent or reduced costs; instances with more
than 12 vCPUs are expected to see increased costs. Please use the tables below to estimate how this change will impact
your RHEL and RHEL for SAP costs.

All RHEL and RHEL for SAP images are charged a 1 minute

If you have concerns over RHEL and RHEL for SAP software costs,
contact your Google Cloud account representative.

SLES images:
$0.02 USD/hour for f1-micro and g1-small machine types
$0.11 USD/hour for all other machine types
SLES for SAP images:
$0.17 USD/hour for instances with 1 - 2 vCPUs
$0.34 USD/hour for instances with 3 - 4 vCPUs
$0.41 USD/hour for instances with 5 or more vCPUs
All SLES images are charged a 1 minute minimum. After 1
minute, SLES images are charged in 1 second increments.
You can purchase commitments and receive committed use discounts (CUDs) for your SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) and SLES for SAP licenses.
Because you commit to a minimum level of resource usage when you purchase
your license commitment, you have to pay the agreed-upon prices for the
duration of that commitment, even if your resource usage is lower than that
minimum level. As a result, to maximize the benefit of your CUDs, ensure that
you use all of your committed licenses and run VMs with those licenses for
100% time of your commitment's term.
To learn more about CUDs for licenses and how to purchase a commitment, see
Purchase commitments for licenses.
Ubuntu pro images
The following sections outline the license cost for using Ubuntu Pro images
on Compute Engine
Memory
License cost for memory is charged at one flat rate of $0.000127 per GB/hour in USD.
vCPU
License cost for vCPU varies by the number of vCPUs that the Ubuntu Pro VM has.
The following table summarizes the license cost per hour in USD.

When running VMs that use the Ubuntu Pro images with attached GPUs, you
incur license cost for the premium image and a GPU license in addition to the
regular cost of running the VM and the cost of the attached GPU.
The following table summarizes the per GPU license rates per month in USD for
Ubuntu Pro VMs. The license fee varies based on the number of GPUs attached to
the VM but is the same for all GPU models that are available on Compute Engine.
f1-micro and g1-small machine types: $0.023
USD/hour.
All other machine types: $0.046 USD/hour per visible vCPU. For example,
n2-highcpu-4, and n2-highmem-4 have 4 vCPUs, so are charged at
$0.184 USD/hour (4 x $0.046 USD/hour).
Windows Server images are charged a 1 minute minimum. After 1 minute, Windows
images are charged in 1 second increments.
For information about licensing for Windows Server images, see
