How to read the pricing table
The pricing table shows you the prices for Google Cloud and Google Maps Platform services SKUs.
-
Each row displays the list price for a SKU or SKU tier .
-
If the Cloud Billing account is associated with a custom pricing contract, the row also includes the contract price and the effective discount. The contract prices and SKUs are only displayed on the report if you have sufficient permissions on the Cloud Billing account.
The SKU pricing information doesn't include credits (such as promotions, sustained use discounts, committed use discounts, or spending based discounts) or the cost of support.
Figure 1 : Example of the pricing table showing list prices for SKUs with historical usage. -
For Cloud Billing accounts with a custom pricing contract, the effective discount percentage is computed using this equation:
Effective discount = (List price - Contract price) / List price × 100

About pricing tiers
SKU prices are offered by pricing tiers. Pricing tiers provide a pricing structure based on different tier levels. Some SKUs have only a single pricing tier while others have multiple pricing tiers. Examples of SKUs with multi-tiered pricing include the following:
- SKUs with a free usage tier. For example: 1-1000 units are free. 1001+ units are priced at $1 each.
- SKUs where the price per unit decreases after the usage quantity within a tier is exceeded. For example: 1-100 units are priced at $5 each, 101-1000 units are priced at $4 each, and 1001+ units are priced at $3 each.
Some notes about multi-tiered pricing:
-
The tier usage counter resets to zero based on the
Aggregation interval
of the SKU: daily or monthly.- Daily SKUs reset each day at 12 AM US and Canadian Pacific Time (UTC-8).
- Monthly SKUs reset to zero on the first day of each calendar month (example: January, February, and so on), at 12 AM US and Canadian Pacific Time (UTC-8).
-
Tiers operate independently for each Cloud Billing account and don't aggregate across multiple Cloud Billing accounts, even if the projects are in the same Organization or belong to the same legal entity.
-
Tiers operate independently per SKU: The usage of one SKU can only affect the price of that SKU. Currently, there are no SKUs in which usage affects the tiered pricing of another SKU.
-
It's possible that the SKU pricing tiers for list prices might not line up exactly with the pricing tiers for contract prices. This circumstance is rare.
-
If a SKU has multiple pricing tiers, each SKU tier price is listed as a separate row in the pricing table. You can identify SKUs with multiple pricing tiers using the
Tiered usage start
.
For example, SKU ID 6F81-5844-456A
has three pricing tiers. Here's how the
SKU's pricing tiers are listed in the pricing table:
SKU ID | SKU description | Unit description | Tiered usage start | List price |
