The calculation then is (30 days * 24 hours) * ($0.03 per hour) = $21.6. The base cost then is ($27.083 + $21.6) = $48.68. On top of that we calculated approx data transfer as Data In (50GB * .10) = $5 and Data Out at (100GB * .17) = $17 for a total data transfer cost of $22. | | | | | | . | | ** For RimU we choose the customized option to add extra storage and transfer space | | | | | |
