Planning & Estimating

Look up current Azure retail pricing for a VM size, or compare two sizes to estimate what resizing would cost. Prices come from Microsoft's public Azure Retail Prices API — the same source azure.microsoft.com/pricing/calculator is built from — not from your own subscription's actual usage.

Look up pricing

Queries Azure's public Retail Prices API for one VM size, or two to compare, in the chosen region/OS at a standard monthly-hours assumption.
Why this matters

Prices come from Azure's public retail list, not your own subscription's negotiated or Reservation/Savings-Plan-discounted rate — treat this as a planning figure, not a guaranteed bill.

e.g. "eastus", "westeurope"

e.g. "Standard_B2s"

e.g. "Standard_B2ms" — leave blank to look up just one size

Estimate

Estimates monthly compute cost from the matched Azure retail price and a standard hours-per-month assumption.
Why this matters

This uses the same public pricing azure.microsoft.com's own calculator draws from — cross-check against a VM already flagged on Rightsizing before assuming a resize here reflects real savings for that specific workload.

Saved scenarios

Each saved scenario freezes the price at the moment it was saved; AFP never re-queries or updates it automatically.0 saved
Why this matters

A scenario flagged 'may be stale' was priced a while ago — re-run the lookup before relying on it for a current decision, since Azure retail prices do change over time.

No saved scenarios yet. Look up a price above and save it here to compare later.

Recent lookups' estimated monthly cost

Shows recent successful estimates in lookup order; the points may represent different scenarios and are not a forecast.Last 3 lookup(s)
Why this matters

Consecutive points can represent entirely different SKUs or regions, not the same VM tracked over time — read this as a log of recent lookups, not a price trend for one resource.
