Calculator
What you'd actually pay.
Reserved capacity, in writing. Pick a SKU, a commitment length (1 day → 5 years), and a prepayment % (10% TCV minimum, 100% maximum) — the calculator returns the hourly rate, the monthly invoice schedule, and the total contract value, against the lowest-of-three hyperscaler list price for the same SKU in the same region.
Methodology
What the numbers mean.#
How the hourly rate is set
Two levers and a small bonus. Primary rate = ceiling − (ceiling − floor) × (0.70 × term-score + 0.30 × prepay-score). Term-score scales 0 (≤1 month) to 1 (5 years). Prepay-score scales 0 (at 10% prepay) to 1 (at 20% prepay). On top of that, prepay above 20% earns a small bonus discount that taxes off, capped at −6% at 100% prepay (concave / sqrt curve, so the first few percentage points above 20% buy most of the bonus).
Entry floor and absolute floor
Entry floor: 5-year reserved + 20% prepay — the published reserved entry rate (B300: $3.25/hr). Absolute floor: 5-year reserved + 100% prepay — exactly 6% below the entry floor (B300: $3.06/hr). Every other configuration sits between the ceiling and the absolute floor.
1-day terms
1 day is the absolute minimum commitment. It is fully prepaid: no monthly invoice, no 10% prepay floor, no negotiation. Term-score is zero, so the rate stays close to the ceiling — the 100% prepay buys the same ~6% bonus discount it buys on any term, but the multi-year term-score discount is unavailable.
Prepayment & invoicing
Minimum prepay is 10% of TCV; you can elect any value up to 100%. Upfront is collected at contract signing; the remainder is split into equal monthly invoices for the duration of the term. Higher prepay gives a small additional rate discount and a shorter invoice schedule. 1-day commitments are invoiced as a single full prepayment.
Hyperscaler comparison
We use the lowest-of-three published list price among AWS, Azure, and GCP for the same NVIDIA SKU, in the closest equivalent region. No spot, no marketplace, no committed-use multipliers. Source pages refreshed weekly.
Region equivalence & uplift
US West and US East are the reference (1.00×). EU Central applies a +3% uplift, APAC East +6%, mirroring our regional cost of operation. Region maps: US West ↔ us-west-2/westus2/us-west1, EU Central ↔ eu-central-1/westeurope/europe-west3, APAC East ↔ ap-northeast-1/japaneast/asia-northeast1.
What's included in the price
Per-second metering for the reserved capacity, on-call support, VPC interconnect for 1+ year terms, intra-VPC egress, and the published SLA. Storage and external egress are billed separately at /pricing/inference rates.
Sharing & quotes
URL parameters update as you change inputs — copy and send. The “Get a written quote” button pre-fills our sales form with the same configuration so the procurement-ready PDF shows the exact same numbers you see here.
When the savings shrink
Hyperscaler 3-year reserved with all upfront payment can close the gap to roughly 1.6×. We still beat that on absolute price, on instant access, and on the absence of paperwork to get there.
