Rate variance

How much of a bill's movement is the published price list moving, rather than you using more. Quantities are held still on purpose, so what is left is the rate — the half an invoice cannot show you, because it has no record of what the price used to be.
What this separates, and what it leaves out
A bill is rate multiplied by usage, and the two arrive fused. This holds your quantities constant and reprices them at the published list in force on 16 Aug, so the difference is the rate component alone.

The other half — usage — is deliberately not computed. This site has no idea what you ran. So the honest form of the output is “this much of the movement is explained by the price list”, never “your bill moved by this much”, and the remainder is yours to attribute.

These are published list prices, so on an enterprise agreement this is the movement of the list your discount is struck against rather than of your invoice. That is a leading indicator, and on a fixed percentage discount it is the thing that quietly changes what the percentage is worth.

Prices are published in USD. Choose another currency and give the rate your finance team uses; it stays in the address bar and is never stored.

The archive is 7 days old, so there is nothing 90 days back to compare against yet. These figures measure the move since 16 Aug instead.

Price a whole footprint at once

Upload a CSV with a sku_id column and a qty column — units per month. Export the catalogue, type your quantities beside the rows you use, and upload it back. The file is read in your browser and never sent anywhere.

Put in the meters your bill is made of

Search for a SKU above (“n2 instance core”, “m6g.xlarge”, “nearline”) and give the quantity you got through last month, or upload the two columns from a spreadsheet. The quantities never change between the two ends of the period — that is what isolates the rate. Nothing is stored: the basket lives in the address bar.
