# Serverless Containers pricing policy



To estimate your service costs, see the pricing in this section.

The prices for service products are also available in the [price list](https://yandex.cloud/en/price-list).

{% 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.

## What goes into the cost of using Serverless Containers {#rules}

In Serverless Containers, you pay for the number of container invocations, computing resources allocated for the application, downtime of [provisioned instances](concepts/container.md#provisioned-instances), and outgoing traffic.

Computing resources are billed based on the number of processor cores (vCPUs), the [level of core performance](../compute/concepts/performance-levels.md), memory allocated for the application, and application running time:

* The number of cores specified when creating a revision is measured in vCPUs and is a positive real number.
* The core performance level specified when creating a revision is measured as percentage.
* The memory size specified when creating a revision is measured in GB.
* The total container time is measured in hours and is rounded up to a multiple of 100 ms.

{% note warning %}

You are only charged for the container invocations that have caused your application to run.

{% endnote %}

### Cost calculation formula {#formula}



Price per month = $0.0310655688 × Memory (GB) × Invocation processing time (Hours) + $0.0466393368 × Number of CPUs × Invocation processing time (Hours) + $0.1554917784 × Millions of invocations


The following is offered at no extra charge each month:
* The first 1000000 container invocations.
* The first 10 GBxhour of RAM usage when processing requests.
* The first 5 vCPU×hour of RAM usage when processing requests.

After you spend the free amount of services, you will be charged at the applicable rate. The unused balance of free services is reset at the end of the month.

### Cost calculation examples {#example}

Example of calculating the cost of a container with the following properties:

* **Amount of memory specified when creating a revision**: 2 GB.
* **Number of cores**: 20% vCPU.
* **Number of container invocations**: 3,000,000.
* **Execution time of each invocations**: 150 ms.



> $0.0310655688 × (2 × (150 / 3,600,000) × 3,000,000 – 10) + $0.0466393368 × (0.2 × (150 / 3,600,000) × 3,000,000 – 5) + $0.1554917784 × ((3,000,000 – 1,000,000) / 1,000,000)

> Total: $8.6995068048

Where:

* $0.0310655688: Price per 1 GB/hr (over 10 GB/hr per month).
* 2: Amount of RAM.
* 150 / 3,600,000: Converting milliseconds to hours, since RAM usage time is calculated in GB/hr.
* 3,000,000: Number of container invocations.
* 10: RAM usage time that is free of charge.
* $0.0466393368: Price per hour of CPU usage beyond 5 vCPU/hr per month.
* 0.2: Number of vCPU cores.
* 150 / 3,600,000: Converting milliseconds to hours, since CPU usage time is calculated in GB/hr.
* 3,000,000: Number of container invocations.
* 5: CPU usage time that is free of charge.
* $0.1554917784: Price per 1,000,000 container invocations beyond 1,000,000 per month.
* 3,000,000: Number of container invocations.
* 1,000,000: Subtracted since the first 1,000,000 calls are free of charge.
* 1,000,000: Divisor to calculate the number of millions of container invocations.
