<Lightboxsrc="scaleway-savings-plan.webp"size="medium"alt="the image contains a graph showing a simulation of how the Savings Plan works for an account. X axis = month and Y axis = commitment amount in Euro. A horizontal line represents the committed amount. The graph displays the consumption of an account over three months. In the first month, the consumption is under the committed amount, so under the line. For the second month, the consumption is exactly the committed amount, so it joins the line. On the third and last month, the consumption went over the committed amount. Therefore, it goes over the line." />

### Example

+
39
+
If you have a Compute Savings Plan with a committed amount of 900€ per month over 3 years, a 10% discount is applied. Your consumption within the Savings Plan will cost you 810€ per month.

+

If in the month of March you consume:

| Number of Instances | Instance Type | Hourly Price | Usage (in hours) | Monthly total |

| 1 | DEV-1S | €0.008 | 744 | €5.95 |
46
+
| 1 | POP2-64C-256G | €2.35 | 381 | €895.35 |
47
+
||||**Total**|**€901.30**|
48
+
49
+
You will be charged:
50
+
51
+
| Detail | Amount |
52
+
| --- | --- |
53
+
| Savings plan committed amount | €900 |
54
+
| Savings plan 10% discount | -€90 |
55
+
| Additional consumption | €1.03 |
56
+
|**Total untaxed bill**|**€811.03**|
57
+
58
+
To sum up:
59
+
60
+
Since the Savings Plan has a committed amount of **€900**, you would be charged the discounted monthly fee for the committed amount (**€810**) added to the excess amount used above the committed amount, charged at the standard price (**€1.03**) equating to your total untaxed bill in March (**€811.03**).
