## What goes into the cost of using Cloud Desktop {#rules}

The Cloud Desktop usage cost includes:

* Computing resources:
  * Number of vCPUs
  * Amount of RAM
* Disk type and size
* Amount of outgoing traffic

In all calculations: 1 GB = 2<sup>30</sup> bytes, 1 MB = 2<sup>20</sup> bytes.

### Using computing resources {#use-resources}

The cost of allocated computing resources is calculated based on how long the desktops were used: from when they get the `CREATING` (if being created) or `STARTING` (if starting) status until they are completely stopped. You are not charged for the time during which the desktops were stopped.

A desktop starts automatically once it is created.

### Using disks {#use-storage}

You are charged for disks whether the desktops are running or not.

## Cost calculation example {#price-example}

Here is an example of calculating the cost of using Cloud Desktop for one month, for a group of 10 desktops with the following configuration:

* Computing resources: 2 x 50% vCPUs and 2 GB of RAM.
* Boot disk: 50 GB SSD.
* Data disk: 30 GB HDD.
* Total operating time of all desktops over the month: 1,000 hours.



Calculating the cost of computing resources:

> ($0.0068852448 × 2 + $0.0035827863 × 2) × 1,000= $20.9360622
>
> Total: $20.9360622: Total cost of 1,000 hours of computing resource operation.

Where:
* $0.0068852448: Cost of using 50% vCPU per hour.
* 2: Number of vCPUs.
* $0.0035827863: Cost of using 1 GB of RAM per hour.
* 2: Amount of RAM (GB).
* 1,000: Total operating time of all desktops in the group over the month.

Cost calculation for boot disks:

> $0.1316065363 × 50 × 10 = $65.80326815
>
> Total: $65.80326815: Cost of boot disk operation.

Where:
* $0.1316065363: Cost of using an SSD boot disk: per GB, per month.
* 50: Boot disk size (GB).
* 10: Number of desktops in the group.

Cost calculation for data disks:

> $0.0359999942 × 30 × 10 = $10.79999826
>
> Total: $10.79999826: Cost of data disk operation.

Where:
* $0.0359999942: Cost of using an HDD data disk: per GB, per month.
* 30: Data disk size (GB).
* 10: Number of desktops in the group.

Total cost calculation:

> $20.9360622 + $65.80326815 + $10.79999826 = $97.53932861
>
> Total: $97.53932861: Cost of using Cloud Desktop, per month.

Where:
* $20.9360622: Cost of computing resources.
* $65.80326815: Cost of boot disks.
* $10.79999826: Cost of data disks.
