Tyler MacDonald Updated by Tyler MacDonald

Amazon S3 pricing is based on several factors, including the amount of data stored, the number of requests made, and any additional features or options you choose. Here are the key components that contribute to Amazon S3 pricing:

  1. Storage Pricing:
    Standard Storage: This is the basic storage class for frequently accessed data. You are charged based on the amount of data (in gigabytes) stored in your S3 buckets.
    Intelligent-Tiering Storage: This storage class automatically moves objects between two access tiers based on changing access patterns. It is designed to optimize costs for varying workloads.
    Glacier Storage: Glacier provides low-cost storage for archival data. Retrieving data from Glacier has a separate pricing structure.
  2. Data Transfer Pricing:
    Data Transfer In: There is usually no charge for data transfer into S3.
    Data Transfer Out: Charges apply when data is transferred out of S3 to the internet or to other AWS regions.
  3. Request and Operation Pricing:
    PUT, COPY, POST, or LIST Requests: Charges are incurred for certain operations such as uploading (PUT), copying (COPY), posting (POST), or listing (LIST) objects in your S3 buckets.
    GET and Other Requests: Charges apply for retrieving (GET) or accessing metadata of objects. Different request types have different pricing.
  4. Transfer Acceleration Pricing:
    If you choose to use Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration for faster data transfers, there is an additional cost associated with this feature.
  5. Storage Management Pricing:
    Object Tagging: If you use object tagging for organizing and managing your objects, there may be additional costs.
  6. Data Replication and Transfer Acceleration:
    If you enable cross-region replication or transfer acceleration, additional costs may apply.

It's important to check the AWS pricing page for the most up-to-date and detailed information, as pricing can change, and there may be additional features or options that can affect costs. AWS offers a simple calculator on their website that allows you to estimate the costs based on your specific usage patterns and requirements.

Keep in mind that pricing can vary based on the AWS region in which your S3 buckets are located. Always review the AWS documentation and pricing details for the specific region you are operating in.
