See What the Cloud Really Charges to Move Your Data

Every gigabyte your servers send to the internet is billed by AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. Enter your monthly traffic below and this calculator turns it into a realistic egress estimate at current published rates, then puts it next to the flat monthly price of a dedicated server with True-Unmetered bandwidth. Real numbers, sources included, and you can email the result to yourself or your team.

Cloud figures are estimates of internet data transfer (egress) charges only, calculated from published pay-as-you-go rates for major EU and US regions as of July 2026, including standard free allowances. Actual cloud bills vary by provider, region, destination, usage mix, and any negotiated or committed-use discounts, and include compute, storage, and other charges not shown here. These figures are provided for comparison purposes only and are not a quote or an offer. Verify current pricing with each provider.

The Maple-Hosting figure is the price of a complete dedicated server including the True-Unmetered plan shown. A month is counted as 30 days, and plan sizing assumes a typical peak-to-average traffic ratio of about 1.4. True-Unmetered plans are measured at the 95th percentile, so short bursts do not affect your bill and there are never per-gigabyte overage charges. If your sustained usage exceeds your plan, an upgrade to a higher plan is required.

Three Honest Options

How to Reduce Cloud Egress Costs

Offload and Optimize

Cache static content on a CDN and compress aggressively so fewer bytes leave the cloud. Real savings for websites, far less for dynamic, live, or uncacheable traffic, and the meter keeps running.

What switching to Maple means

Go Flat-Rate

Move your egress-heavy workloads (streaming, downloads, game servers, backups) to a Maple dedicated server with True-Unmetered bandwidth. The meter simply goes away.

One flat monthly price, never billed per GB
Plans from 1 to 40 Gbps on our AMS-IX network

Negotiate Commitments

At very large spend, private pricing and committed-use discounts exist. They require multi-year lock-in and rarely close a gap this wide.

Answers to Common Questions

Cloud Egress FAQ

What are cloud egress fees?

Egress fees, also called data transfer out charges, are what cloud providers bill when data leaves their network for the public internet. Uploading data into the cloud is usually free, but every gigabyte your servers send out to visitors, viewers, or downloaders is metered and charged, typically between $0.05 and $0.12 per GB at pay-as-you-go rates. For traffic-heavy workloads, egress is often the largest single line on a cloud bill.

How much does AWS charge for data transfer out?

AWS bills internet egress on a sliding scale that starts at roughly $0.09 per GB and falls to about $0.05 per GB at higher monthly volumes, after a small free allowance. The exact tiers appear in the published rate table on this page (verified July 2026). At those rates, moving 100 TB out of AWS in a month costs several thousand dollars in egress alone.

Do Google Cloud and Azure also charge egress fees?

Yes. Google Cloud Premium Tier internet egress starts around $0.12 per GB and Microsoft Azure around $0.087 per GB, both falling at higher volumes. The structures differ slightly, but the result is the same: the more traffic you serve, the larger the egress line item grows, and it never becomes flat.

How can I reduce cloud egress costs?

The usual levers are offloading traffic to a CDN, caching and compressing aggressively, and negotiating committed-use discounts at very large scale. The structural fix is to move egress-heavy workloads such as video streaming, large file downloads, game servers, and backups onto infrastructure with flat-rate bandwidth, where transfer volume does not affect the bill at all.

What is the cheapest way to serve high-bandwidth traffic?

For sustained multi-terabyte monthly transfer, a dedicated server with unmetered bandwidth is usually the lowest total cost. Instead of paying per gigabyte, you pay a flat monthly fee for a port speed, so the cost of your best month and your quietest month is identical. Our calculator above shows the break-even point for your own traffic.

Is unmetered bandwidth really unlimited?

True-Unmetered bandwidth means no per-gigabyte fees and no overage charges, measured honestly at the 95th percentile: your traffic is sampled every five minutes, the top 5% of samples are discarded, and the rest must stay within your plan speed. Short bursts are free, and if your sustained usage grows, you move up to a faster port at a flat price. It is a defined, transparent limit rather than the vague "unlimited" some hosts advertise.
