Different subscription types, resource types, usage, and location can make it highly complex to estimate the cost of an Azure subscription. For this reason, Microsoft introduced various tools to help.

Using the pricing calculator, you can create quotes for workloads we define to understand how much they will cost us before purchasing them.
