Model traffic, rules, and capacity together
Load balancer cost can change with runtime, capacity units, rules, processed traffic, public IPs, and outbound transfer.
Cloud Cost Calculators
Cloud Load Balancer Cost Comparison Calculator
Estimate monthly load balancer cost across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Cloudflare using the same workload assumptions. Enter the current rates from the provider pricing pages, then compare base runtime, capacity units, processed traffic, forwarding rules, outbound transfer, WAF, logging, and optional setup cost in one clean view.
Pricing model checked: July 7, 2026. Prices are not hardcoded because load balancer rates vary by provider, region, product type, account agreement, currency, discounts, and traffic shape.
Configure workload
Select provider and enter current prices
Load balancer pricing depends on the provider, region, product type, traffic, rules, and account discounts. Beeija keeps rates editable so you can copy the current numbers from official pricing pages before planning a monthly estimate.
Shared workload assumptions
Optional traffic and setup assumptions
Use these only when outbound transfer, forwarding rules, or setup costs are part of your estimate.
AWS price inputs
Good for ALB-style planning with hourly, capacity unit, processed data, WAF, logging, and transfer inputs.
Optional provider rates
Open this only when the provider bills forwarding rules, outbound transfer, WAF, logging, or setup separately.
Update load balancer rates by provider
AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Cloudflare price load balancing differently. Enter current official rates for the region, traffic pattern, and product tier you are checking.
Use the estimate before deployment
Use the result as a planning estimate. Final bills may change because of tax, support plans, discounts, credits, and provider billing rules.
When This Load Balancer Calculator Helps
This calculator is useful when you are choosing between a managed application load balancer, gateway, traffic steering service, or CDN load balancing setup before moving a project to production. It helps compare costs that are easy to miss when you only look at a base hourly price.
- Estimate monthly cost for one production load balancer.
- Compare AWS ALB-style pricing with Azure, Google Cloud, or Cloudflare planning inputs.
- Add WAF, logging, monitoring, data processing, and transfer cost before deciding.
- Stress test traffic growth without breaking the page layout.
What The Estimate Includes
The result can include base hourly runtime, average capacity or LCU usage, processed GB, forwarding rule charges, outbound transfer, WAF, logging, monitoring, and optional one-time setup cost spread across a planning period. It does not replace the official provider calculator or your final bill.

Common Questions
Why are the provider prices blank?
Load balancer pricing changes by provider, service type, region, usage unit, account agreement, currency, and discount. Blank price fields make the estimate safer because you can enter the current rate for the exact setup you are checking.
Is this the exact monthly bill?
No. It is a planning estimate. Final bills can change because of tax, support plans, credits, free tiers, minimum charges, retries, extra services, traffic routing, logs, security rules, discounts, and provider billing updates.
Why does outbound transfer matter?
Many users check only the load balancer hourly price, but internet egress, processed traffic, logs, WAF, and related network services can become a meaningful part of the monthly cost.
