About this calculator
Cloud storage prices vary 10-20× across providers. AWS S3 Standard is the convenient default at $0.023/GB. Cheaper options (B2, R2, Wasabi) save 5-15× on storage. Egress is the killer for active workloads — AWS charges $0.09/GB out (R2 and B2 have free or near-free egress). For static-asset CDN: R2 + Cloudflare beats S3 + CloudFront. For cold archive: Glacier Deep ($0.001/GB) is unbeatable.
