Google Cloud Cloud data transfer

Google Cloud data transfer pricing

Data into Google Cloud is free. Data out is billed by where it starts, where it goes and which network tier carries it: Premium Tier uses Google's backbone and prices each destination separately, Standard Tier uses the public internet and prices one rate per source region. The two are different products and are never added together here.

Standard Tier does not split by destination: one rate covers all internet traffic from the source region.

Free allowances are listed on every region's rows, but Google counts them per account across all regions. Premium Tier allowances are counted per destination SKU. Rates beyond 500 TiB (512,000 GiB) are by quote.

Destinations are the locations Google names in each SKU, from a continent-wide group such as Americas down to a single city. Inter-zone traffic within a region has one rate everywhere: $0.01 per GiB.

External IP addresses

Per address, per hour, in Iowa (us-central1)
AddressRate per hourFree allowance
In use on a standard VM, static or ephemeral$0.005First 721 hours a month free
In use on a Spot or preemptible VM$0.0025None listed
Reserved static address, not in use$0.01First 1 hour a month free

The same rates apply in every region except the reserved-address rate, which varies. Addresses attached to forwarding rules are not charged; addresses a Cloud NAT gateway uses are on the Cloud NAT page. The standard-VM allowance is the band the catalog lists; Google's page describes it as one hour per month per account, so treat it as unverified and leave it out of estimates.

What to know

  • Premium is the default.Google Cloud uses Premium Tier unless you choose Standard Tier explicitly for a resource. Standard Tier is priced from 45 source regions.
  • Premium Tier destinations overlap.Google lists groups such as EMEA and APAC beside narrower ones such as Western Europe and India. Each is its own SKU; do not add them.
  • Inter-zone traffic is one flat rate.$0.01 per GiB for traffic between zones of a region, regardless of region.
  • Egress through Cloud CDN, Interconnect and peering is priced elsewhere.These rates are Google's standard internet data transfer rates.
