- In addition, if your Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents have embedded images, each image will be analyzed for text extraction and counted as a page. Therefore, the total analyzed pages for Microsoft Office documents will be equal to the sum of total text pages and total images analyzed. In the previous example if the document contains two embedded images, the total page count in the service output will be three + two = five pages.

You can find usage metrics in the Azure portal metrics dashboard. The dashboard displays the number of pages processed by Azure Form Recognizer. You can check the estimated cost spent on the resource using the [Azure pricing calculator](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/calculator/). For detailed instructions, *see* [Check my usage and estimate the cost](how-to-guides/estimate-cost.md).

# Check my Form Recognizer usage and estimate the price
16+
17+
In this guide, you'll learn how to use the metrics dashboard in the Azure portal to view how many pages were processed by Azure Form Recognizer. You'll also learn how to estimate the cost of processing those pages using the Azure pricing calculator.
18+
19+
## Check how many pages were processed
20+
21+
We'll start by looking at the page processing data for a given time period:
22+
23+
1. Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com).
24+
25+
1. Navigate to your Form Recognizer resource.
26+
27+
1. From the **Overview** page, select the **Monitoring** tab located near the middle of the page.
28+
29+
:::image type="content" source="../media/azure-portal-overview-menu.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the Azure portal overview page menu.":::
30+
31+
1. Select a time range and you'll see the **Processed Pages** chart displayed.
32+
33+
:::image type="content" source="../media/azure-portal-overview-monitoring.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how many pages are processed on the resource overview page." lightbox="../media/azure-portal-processed-pages.png":::
34+
35+
### Examine analyzed pages
36+
37+
We can now take a deeper dive to see each model's analyzed pages:
38+
39+
1. Under the **Monitoring** section, select **Metrics** from the left navigation menu.
40+
41+
:::image type="content" source="../media/azure-portal-monitoring-metrics.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the monitoring menu in the Azure portal.":::
42+
43+
1. On the **Metrics** page, select **Add metric**.
44+
45+
1. Select the Metric dropdown menu and, under **USAGE**, choose **Processed Pages**.
46+
47+
:::image type="content" source="../media/azure-portal-add-metric.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to add new metrics on Azure portal.":::
48+
49+
1. From the upper right corner, configure the time range and select the **Apply** button.
50+
51+
:::image type="content" source="../media/azure-portal-processed-pages-timeline.png" alt-text="Screenshot of time period options for metrics in the Azure portal." lightbox="../media/azure-portal-metrics-timeline.png":::
52+
53+
1. Select **Apply splitting**.
54+
55+
:::image type="content" source="../media/azure-portal-apply-splitting.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the Apply splitting option in the Azure portal.":::
56+
57+
1. Choose **FeatureName** from the **Values** dropdown menu.
58+
59+
:::image type="content" source="../media/azure-portal-splitting-on-feature-name.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the Apply splitting values dropdown menu.":::
60+
61+
1. You'll see a breakdown of the pages analyzed by each model.
62+
63+
:::image type="content" source="../media/azure-portal-metrics-drill-down.png" alt-text="Screenshot demonstrating how to drill down to check analyzed pages by model." lightbox="../media/azure-portal-drill-down-closeup.png":::
64+
65+
## Estimate price
66+
67+
Now that we have the page processed data from the portal, we can use the Azure pricing calculator to estimate the cost:
68+
69+
1. Sign in to [Azure pricing calculator](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/calculator/) with the same credentials you use for the Azure portal.
70+
71+
> Press Ctrl + right-click to open in a new tab!
72+
73+
1. Search for **Azure Form Recognizer** in the **Search products** search box.
74+
75+
1. Select **Azure Form Recognizer** and you'll see that it has been added to the page.
76+
77+
1. Under **Your Estimate**, select the relevant **Region**, **Payment Option** and **Instance** for your Form Recognizer resource. For more information, *see* [Azure Form Recognizer pricing options](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/form-recognizer/#pricing).
78+
79+
1. Enter the number of pages processed from the Azure portal metrics dashboard. That data can be found using the steps in sections [Check how many pages are processed](#check-how-many-pages-were-processed) or [Examine analyzed pages](#examine-analyzed-pages), above.
80+
81+
1. The estimated price is on the right, after the equal (**=**) sign.
82+
83+
:::image type="content" source="../media/azure-portal-pricing.png" alt-text="Screenshot of how to estimate the price based on processed pages.":::
84+
85+
That's it. You now know where to find how many pages you have processed using Form Recognizer and how to estimate the cost.
86+
