 ## Purchase savings plan
 
 You can purchase a savings plan using the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/) and with APIs. You don't need to assign a savings plan to your compute resources, the savings plan benefit is applied automatically to compute usage that matches the savings plan scope. A savings plan purchase covers only the compute part of your usage. For example, for Windows VMs, the usage meter is split into two separate meters. There's a compute meter, which is same as the Linux meter, and a Windows IP meter. The charges that you see when you make the purchase are only for the compute costs. Charges don't include Windows software costs. For more information about software costs, see [Software costs not included with Azure savings plans](software-costs-not-included.md).
