{% note info %}

Currency of Service rates (prices) depends on the company you made a contract with:
* Prices in US dollars are applicable to customers of Iron Hive doo Beograd (Serbia) or Direct Cursus Technology L.L.C. (Dubai).
* Prices in Russian roubles are applicable to customers of Yandex.Cloud LLC.

{% endnote %}

All prices in RUB and KZT are inclusive of VAT; in USD, net of VAT.

## Cluster status {#running-stopped}

Pricing applies differently depending on cluster status:

* For a `Running` cluster, you pay for both the computing resources and storage size.
* For a `Stopped` cluster, you only pay for your storage size.

## What goes into the cost of using Yandex Managed Service for Apache Spark™ {#rules}

When using Yandex Managed Service for Apache Spark™, you pay for:

* Computing resources of cluster components.
* Outgoing traffic from Yandex Cloud to the internet.

Cluster operation cost is charged per hour. The minimum billing unit is one hour; e.g., you will be charged for 2 hours when using a cluster for 90 minutes (1.5 hours).

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

### Example of cluster cost calculation {#example}

Suppose we calculate the 30-day usage cost of a cluster with the following configuration:

* **Driver**: Two `standard` configuration instances, `c4-m16` [host class](concepts/instance-types.md), fixed quantity: 4 vCPUs, 16 GB RAM.
* **Executor**: Four `standard` configuration instances, `c4-m16` host class, fixed quantity: 4 vCPUs, 16 GB RAM.




> 720 × (24 × $0.0128688504 + 96 × $0.0033983601) = $457.268385024
>
> Total: $457.268385024, cost of using the cluster for 30 days.

Where:
* 720: Hours in 30 days.
* 24: Total number of vCPUs.
* $0.0128688504: Cost of using 1 vCPU per hour.
* 96: Total amount of RAM (in GB).
* $0.0033983601: Cost of using 1 GB of RAM per hour.
