THE ASSUMPTIONS BEHIND YOUR CLOUD SPEND

A number is useful.
A number you can explain is better.

Model your Microsoft Fabric costs with rates you supply. Trace every line, test your operating hours and take the assumptions into your next budget conversation.

Build your scenario Browser-local. No account.

THE SCENARIO WORKSPACE

Put the inputs on the table.

One capacity. One currency. Every assumption visible.

Every rate comes from you. Enter the hourly price for one whole capacity, not the price per capacity unit (CU). The planner does not fetch prices, validate licensing rules or predict the workload a capacity can support.

Use one currency throughout. Enter 0 explicitly for any cost or quantity you intentionally exclude. Taxes, discounts, networking, egress, support and other charges are excluded unless you include them in your inputs. Do not enter cloud credentials or sensitive information.

Scenario and rate context

Scenario name

Give this set of assumptions a recognizable name.

Capacity label

Region

Describe the capacity and region covered by your rate. Labels are not checked against a vendor catalog.

Currency for every amount

Rate effective date

Rate source and assumptions

Record a source reference and any assumptions needed to trace all your rates. Text only: a pasted link is not opened or fetched. Source accuracy and freshness remain your responsibility.

Capacity schedule

Days in modeled month

Active capacity hours

From 0 to days × 24. These are billed active hours you assume, not measured utilization. This tool does not schedule or pause any service.

Hourly rate for one whole capacity

Amount in your selected currency per capacity-hour. Do not enter a per-CU rate. Use a decimal point, no currency symbol or commas, and up to 6 decimal places.

Other monthly costs

Every field is required. Enter 0 when deliberately excluding an item. All quantities and rates are your assumptions.

Average stored GB

Rate per GB per month

License count

Monthly rate per license

Use the same GB unit as your rate. Storage and license costs are full-month assumptions, without proration. Licensing eligibility or entitlements are not validated.

Other monthly costs

One fixed monthly total. Describe included support, networking, taxes or other adjustments in your rate-source note. Unentered categories are excluded.

Optional capacity comparison

Alternative monthly capacity price Optional

A fixed monthly price in the same currency for a capacity-only comparison. Verify term lengths, service equivalence and licensing separately. Leave blank for no comparison.

Inputs stay in this page. No automatic saving, uploads, pricing requests or AI processing. Leaving or reloading can lose your scenario.

YOUR SCENARIO REPORTUser-entered rates

Ready for your assumptions

A cost you can trace.

Enter a source, schedule and every required rate. The report will show how each assumption contributes to the result.

Model one whole capacity.
Compare active and full-period hours.
Keep the inputs with the formulas.

Active versus full-period capacity

Active schedule · capacity only

Every modeled hour · capacity only

Arithmetic comparison at the same entered hourly rate. Running fewer hours is a scenario assumption, not a guaranteed saving or an operational recommendation.

Hours sensitivity

50%, 100% and 150% of your active-hours input, capped at the modeled period. Storage, licenses and other costs stay fixed.

Modeled totals at different capacity-hour assumptions

Alternative capacity price

Capacity-only arithmetic. It does not compare service terms, performance, reservations or licensing obligations.

Assumptions and exclusions

Estimates are not vendor quotes, invoices, guaranteed savings or financial advice. Validate rates, licensing, service behavior and all omitted costs before acting.

The download includes your scenario labels, rates, source note and other inputs. Store and share it with care.

Make the model reviewable

Separate the rate from the assumption.

Bring a dated source.

You supply all prices. A region or capacity label does not retrieve a catalog rate, establish eligibility or verify your source.

See the calculation.

Active hours × whole-capacity hourly rate, plus your monthly storage, licenses and other costs. Decimal calculations produce explicit line items.

Explore hours, not promises.

Sensitivity shows the effect of changing assumed hours. It does not forecast workload, performance or your next invoice.
