Estimates use each vendor's lowest published per-GB rate for the selected region mix at the cheapest tier. Real invoices vary with cache hit ratio, request counts, premium features, and negotiated commitments. We never infer prices for quote-only vendors.
What the calculator is and is not
The figure shown is a rack-rate floor using the cheapest published per-GB tier for your region mix. Real invoices include request fees, premium features (WAF, image optimization), and commitment-tier discounts. Use it to compare vendors, not to forecast to the cent.
