Netlify Cost Calculator
Estimate your real Netlify bill under the 2026 credit system. Since an April 2026 overhaul, bandwidth, function compute, deploys and requests all draw from one shared credit pool per plan instead of separate allowances.
Cost Calculator
Credit costs: bandwidth 20/GB, compute 10/GB-hour, deploy 15 each, requests 2 per 10k. Overage (paid plans only) priced at the recharge-pack rate, โ$0.007โ$0.01/credit depending on pack size โ Free simply pauses when credits run out, no overage charge.

How this calculator works
Since an April 2026 pricing overhaul, Netlify no longer bills bandwidth, function compute, deploys and requests as separate line items with their own allowances โ they all draw from one shared credit pool sized to your plan (300 credits free, 1,000 on Personal $9/mo, 3,000 on Pro $20/mo). This calculator converts your bandwidth (20 credits/GB), function compute (10 credits/GB-hour), production deploys (15 credits each) and requests (2 credits/10k) into total credits needed, compares that to your plan's included pool, and prices the overage using the recharge-pack rate. On the Free plan there's no overage billing at all โ your site just pauses until the next cycle or an upgrade, which matters if you're relying on the free tier for anything production-facing.
Frequently asked questions
Does Netlify still bill bandwidth and functions separately?
No. Since the April 2026 overhaul, bandwidth, serverless/edge/background function compute, production deploys, and web requests all draw from one shared credit pool per plan: 20 credits/GB, 10 credits/GB-hour, 15 credits/deploy, 2 credits per 10,000 requests.
What happens when I run out of credits?
On Free (300 credits/mo), your site pauses until the next billing cycle or an upgrade โ no overage charge. On Personal ($9/mo, 1,000 credits) and Pro ($20/mo, 3,000 credits) you can buy recharge packs, at roughly $0.007โ$0.01 per extra credit depending on pack size.
Are form submissions still billed separately?
No โ under the 2026 credit model Netlify's own pricing page no longer lists form submissions as a metered line item; built-in forms are a platform feature rather than a separate per-submission charge.
