About the VPS Cost Calculator

The costs that hide outside the plan price

A VPS plan's headline price usually covers CPU, RAM, a disk and a bandwidth allowance. The bill grows with what sits around it: extra IPv4 addresses (now commonly $1 to $5 each a month, as IPv4 has run out), bandwidth over the allowance, block storage and snapshots, automated backups (often 20% of the plan price) and software licences such as cPanel, Plesk or Windows Server.

cPanel licences are priced by the number of accounts, and Windows Server and SQL Server are licensed per core, so a larger VM can cost more in licences than in hosting.

Monthly or annual billing

Many providers discount annual or multi-year terms by 10 to 30%. The annual figure here is twelve times the monthly cost, so compare it against the provider's yearly price to see what prepaying saves.

What it can't tell you

  • Prices are what you enter; it does not look up providers' prices.
  • Taxes such as VAT are not added.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an extra IPv4 address cost?
Usually $1 to $5 a month per address from hosting providers in 2026, and more at the large clouds. IPv4 is scarce, so prices have risen year on year.
Is bandwidth included in a VPS?
Most VPS plans include a monthly transfer allowance (often 1 to 20 TB). Over it, providers either charge per TB, throttle the port or bill by the 95th percentile.
Why is my cloud bill higher than the instance price?
Storage, snapshots, IPv4 addresses, egress bandwidth and load balancers are billed separately. Add each one here to see where the money goes.
