Matched on vCPU and memory, then CPU vendor, then rate; a larger size is offered only when nothing is the same size. On-demand Linux only: Spot and commitments work differently on the two clouds, so they aren't compared here.
How this price is built
Google bills a VM by its parts, each with its own SKU. These are the parts of the On-demand Linux rate in Iowa (us-central1). The total is the published price; the parts add up to it.
| Part | SKU | Google's rate | Quantity | Per hour |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| vCPU | N2 Instance Core running in Americas BB77-5FDA-69D9 | $0.031611 per hour | 16 vCPU | $0.505776 |
| Memory | N2 Instance Ram running in Americas 5B01-D157-A097 | $0.004237 per GiB-hour | 16 GiB | $0.067792 |
| On-demand, Linux | $0.573568 | |||
Windows adds the Windows Server licence: 16 vCPU × $0.046 per hour (SKU 92D2-8A8F-DF54) = $0.7360/hr, the same in every region and on every basis.

No regions match the filter.
Monthly is 730 hours and annual is 8,760. Windows prices include the Windows Server licence.
What the prices include
- Regions. n2-highcpu-16 is priced in the 40 regions where Compute Engine runs it in at least one zone. It may run in only some of a region's zones.
- Windows. The Windows Server licence costs $0.046 per visible vCPU per hour. Spot and commitments don't discount it, so it's added at the full rate on every basis.
- Spot. Google can stop a Spot VM at any time and changes Spot prices up to once every 30 days.
- Commitments. The 1-yr and 3-yr rates are resource-based committed use discounts: you commit to an amount of N2 vCPU and memory in one region and pay for it whether you use it or not. Flexible (spend-based) commitments discount less and aren't shown.
- Sustained use. N2 earns a sustained-use discount of up to 20% off the On-demand rate when a VM runs the whole month. It starts once the VM runs more than a quarter of the month, arrives as a monthly credit, doesn't apply to usage a commitment covers, and only self-serve billing accounts get it. The prices here don't include it.
