# Choose an Azure saving plan commitment amount
1515

16-
Savings plan purchase recommendations are calculated by analyzing your hourly usage data over the last 7, 30, and 60 days. Azure simulates what your costs would have been if you had a savings plan and compares it with your actual pay-as-you-go costs incurred over the time duration. The commitment amount that returns the greatest savings is recommended. Recommendations are generated for the selected term and benefit scope. To learn more about how recommendations are generated, see [How savings plan recommendations are generated](purchase-recommendations.md#how-savings-plan-recommendations-are-generated).

Savings plan purchase recommendations are calculated by analyzing your hourly pay-as-you-go usage and cost data. Recommendations are generated for the selected savings plan term (1- or 3-years), [benefit scope](scope-savings-plan.md) (shared, subscription and look back period (7-, 30-, or 60-days). For each term, benefit scope and look back period combination, Azure simulates what your total costs would have been if you had a savings plan, and compares this simulated cost to the pay-as-you-go costs you actually incurred. The commitment amount that returns the greatest savings for each term, benefit scope and look back period combination is highlighted. To learn more about how recommendations are generated, see [How savings plan recommendations are generated](purchase-recommendations.md#how-savings-plan-recommendations-are-generated).
