Understanding Savings Plans recommendations
To help you save money, AWS provides customized Savings Plans recommendations based on your past usage. You can use these recommendations to understand what you can save, how the commitment will be used, and more.
You can view the recommendations for your AWS account. If you're using AWS Organizations, you can view recommendations from the management account or member account level.
To access your Savings Plans recommendations
Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Cost Management console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cost-management/home
. -
In the navigation pane, under Savings Plans, choose Recommendations.
The Recommended Savings Plans section on the Recommendations page shows a detailed breakdown of your Savings Plans selection. Your recommendations include the following summary metrics:
-
Monthly On-Demand spend – The estimated On-Demand spend based on your usage over the selected time period. This includes all active Savings Plans that you own at the time of computation. This value represents what your On-Demand spend would be on a monthly basis, based on your past usage and current Savings Plan commitments.
-
Estimated monthly spend – The projected spend based on the recommended Savings Plans commitments. This value consists of the recommended commitment and any usage projected to remain on On-Demand due to hour-to-hour variations in usage.
-
Estimated monthly savings – The monthly net savings amount based on the usage over the selected time period, if you purchased the recommended Savings Plans.
Note
You can also receive your Savings Plans recommendations via the AWS Cost Explorer API.
