Cloud Cost Calculators

Cloud MySQL Cost Comparison Calculator

Compare managed MySQL costs across Amazon RDS, Azure Database for MySQL, Google Cloud SQL, or a custom plan using the same database workload. Enter current regional rates, then compare compute, availability, read replicas, storage, IOPS, backups, outbound transfer, support, discounts, and migration cost.
Pricing model checked: July 12, 2026. Prices are not hardcoded because managed MySQL rates vary by provider, region, machine family, service tier, availability setup, storage, commitment, currency, and account agreement.

Configure workload

Select provider and enter current prices

MySQL pricing depends on compute, availability, read replicas, storage, IOPS, billable I/O, backups, transfer, support, discounts, and migration costs. Beeija keeps provider rates editable so you can compare the same workload with current pricing.

Shared MySQL workload

Use the same database workload for every provider so the comparison stays fair.

Backup, I/O, IOPS, and network assumptions

Open this for backup storage, provisioned IOPS, billable I/O, or outbound transfer.

Shared workload summary

Running time: 730 hours

Node size: 2 vCPU / 8 GB

Primary storage: 100 GB

Read replicas: 0

Backup storage: 100 GB

Billable I/O: 0 million

AWS price inputs

Use current Amazon RDS for MySQL rates for the exact region and configuration you are checking.

Service or plan name
Amazon RDS for MySQL
Fixed by the selected provider.
Optional backup, IOPS, I/O, network, and support rates

Open this when these items are billed separately.

Fixed services and migration costs

Open this for fixed monthly services or migration costs.

Compare the full MySQL workload

Model compute, availability, replicas, storage, IOPS, I/O, backups, transfer, and migration using one workload.

Keep MySQL prices editable

Enter current regional rates for each provider instead of relying on an old preset or a universal example.

Plan before migration or scaling

Use the estimate before adding HA, replicas, storage, support, or migration work. Final bills may still vary.

When This MySQL Cost Calculator Helps

This calculator is useful when you are comparing managed MySQL providers, planning high availability, adding read replicas, sizing production storage, or estimating the cost of moving an existing MySQL workload into a cloud-managed service.

  • Compare the same MySQL workload across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or a custom plan.
  • Measure the effect of high availability and read replicas.
  • Include storage, IOPS, paid I/O, backups, transfer, support, and discounts.
  • Estimate first-year impact when migration cost matters.

What The Estimate Includes

The result can include database compute, standby and replica copies, primary and replica storage, provisioned IOPS, paid I/O, backup storage, outbound transfer, extended support, fixed monthly services, discounts, and one-time migration cost spread across a planning period. It is a planning estimate, not a provider quote or final bill.

Common Questions

Why are provider prices blank?

Managed MySQL prices change by provider, region, machine type, tier, availability setup, storage, commitment, currency, and account agreement. Enter the current rates for the exact setup you are checking.

How is high availability counted?

The selected availability option determines how many primary and standby database copies are included. Read replicas are added separately.

Why are primary and replica prices separate?

Replica compute, storage, and IOPS can use different rates or configurations from the primary deployment.

How is backup storage charged?

The selected included allowance is removed first. Only backup storage above that allowance is charged at the entered backup rate.
