Does the estimator include data transfer costs?

Yes. The calculator includes egress charges for data transferred out to the internet and between AWS regions. Intra-region transfers to EC2 or CloudFront are free and are noted accordingly.

How accurate are the pricing figures?

The tool uses published AWS list prices for the US East (N. Virginia) region as a baseline. Actual costs may vary by region, volume discounts, or negotiated Enterprise Discount Program rates. Always cross-check with the AWS Pricing Calculator for contractual accuracy.

Can I estimate costs for S3 Intelligent-Tiering?

Yes. You can select S3 Intelligent-Tiering and the estimator factors in the monitoring and automation fee per object as well as the tiered storage rates for frequent and infrequent access layers.
