-If you plan to use Azure Cosmos DB in provisioned throughput mode, use the [Azure Cosmos DB capacity calculator](https://cosmos.azure.com/capacitycalculator/) to estimate costs before you create the resources in an Azure Cosmos account. The capacity calculator is used to get an estimate of the required throughput and cost of your workload. Configuring your Azure Cosmos databases and containers with the right amount of provisioned throughput, or [Request Units (RU/s)](request-units.md), for your workload is essential to optimize the cost and performance. You have to input details such as API type, number of regions, item size, read/write requests per second, total data stored to get a cost estimate. To learn more about the capacity calculator, see the [estimate](estimate-ru-with-capacity-planner.md) article.
