Google Cloud Cloud SQL
Cloud SQL for SQL Server pricing
Cloud SQL bills vCPUs, memory, storage and backups as separate meters. In Iowa (us-central1), the Enterprise edition costs $0.0413 per vCPU-hour and $0.0070 per GiB-hour, which prices db-custom-4-15360 with a Standard licence at $0.7902 an hour single-zone. High availability has its own regional rates and costs 1.11× to 2.00× the single-zone price across the listed shapes, because the licence is charged once.
Choose what to price
Every table and the estimator below follow theseEnterprise and Enterprise Plus are Cloud SQL's two editions. Enterprise Plus runs SQL Server with the Enterprise licence only. Prices are list prices before committed use discounts, and network egress is billed separately. Neither is included on this page.
Estimate an instance
Any vCPU and memory size, with storage and backups, for one monthInstance and storage
The estimate multiplies Google's published rates for the region, edition, series and deployment you chose by the amounts you enter, and rounds only the total. It does not check that a vCPU-to-memory ratio is one Cloud SQL accepts, and it charges the SQL Server licence once, for 4 cores below 4 vCPUs and one per vCPU from there. Committed use discounts, network egress, replicas' extra instances and IP addresses are not included.
vCPU and memory rates
Google's per-hour rates for Enterprise in IowaEvery instance is its vCPUs times one rate plus its memory times another, plus the SQL Server licence. Series with the same rate today, such as Enterprise's Dedicated core and N4, are separate rows because Google prices them separately.
| Machine series | Per vCPU‑hour, single‑zone | Per vCPU‑hour, HA | Per GiB‑hour, single‑zone | Per GiB‑hour, HA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated core db-custom-* shapes | $0.0413 | $0.0826 | $0.0070 | $0.0140 |
| N4 Custom shapes only | $0.0413 | $0.0826 | $0.0070 | $0.0140 |
Shapes and what each is made of
Enterprise in IowaThe totals are the prices in Google's catalog. Under each total are its parts: the vCPUs and memory at the rates above, and the SQL Server licence. The parts add up to the total for every shape. HA uses Google's regional rates and the licence is charged once, so an HA shape costs 1.11× to 2.00× the single-zone price rather than double.
| Shape | vCPUs | Memory (GiB) | vCPUs part, single-zone, per hour | Memory part, single-zone, per hour | SQL Server licence, per hour | Single‑zone total, per hour | HA total, per hour | Single-zone per month | HA ÷ single |

Per month is 730 hours. Series that list no shapes (N4 and C4D) can be priced in the estimator above with any vCPU and memory size. A SQL Server shape is listed once per licence the edition supports, so the licence control above picks which one you see.
Storage and backups
Enterprise in Iowa, per month| Meter | Unit | Single‑zone | HA |
|---|---|---|---|
| SSD storage Standard storage | GiB‑month | $0.1700 | $0.3400 |
| Hyperdisk Balanced capacity Per GiB provisioned | GiB‑month | $0.1150 | $0.2300 |
| Hyperdisk Balanced provisioned IOPS Per IOPS above the 3,000 included | IOPS‑month | $0.0200 | $0.0400 |
| Hyperdisk Balanced provisioned throughput Per MBps above the 140 included | MiBps‑month | $0.0800 | $0.1600 |
| Backups Same for every engine, edition and deployment | GiB‑month | $0.0800 | Same rate |
HA storage is Google's own regional rate, not double the single-zone one. Hyperdisk Balanced bills capacity, provisioned IOPS and provisioned throughput separately; Google includes the first 3,000 IOPS and 140 MBps.
What these prices leave out
- Committed use discounts. Cloud SQL commitments are spend-based, so they are not a per-shape rate, and none is shown here.
- Network egress. Traffic out of Cloud SQL is billed as network egress, not as part of these rates.
- Other charges. Extended support for old engine versions, reserved IP addresses, serverless exports and PostgreSQL's Developer edition aren't in the tables.
- Read replicas. A replica is billed as another instance at these rates.
- SQL Server licences. Google charges a core licence with a four-core minimum: an instance with fewer than four vCPUs is charged for four licences, and from four vCPUs it pays one per vCPU. A high-availability pair pays for one licence. Express has no licence charge. The Enterprise edition offers Express, Web, Standard and Enterprise licences; Enterprise Plus offers Enterprise only. Dedicated-core shapes outside a licence's vCPU range, such as Express above 8 vCPUs, aren't listed for it.
