Using the Bills page to understand your monthly charges and invoice

At the end of a monthly billing period, or when you incur a one-time fee, Amazon issues an invoice as a PDF file. If you're paying by credit card, Amazon also charges the credit card that you have on file at this time.

To download invoices and view your monthly charge details, you can use the Bills page in the Amazon Billing and Cost Management console.

Note

IAM users need explicit permission to access some of the pages in the Billing and Cost Management console. For more information, see Overview of managing access permissions.

Bills page

You can use the Bills page to see your monthly chargeable costs, along with details of your Amazon Web Services and purchases made through Amazon Web Services Marketplace. Invoices are generated when a monthly billing period closes (the billing status appears as Issued), or when subscriptions or one-time purchases are made. For monthly billing periods that haven't closed (the billing status appears as Pending), this page shows the most recent estimated charges based on your Amazon Web Services metered to date.

If you're signed in as the management account of your Amazon Organizations, you can see the consolidated charges for your member accounts. You can use the Charges by account to also view account-level details.

To customize the visible sections, choose the gear icon at the top of the page. These preferences are saved for ongoing visits to the Bills page.

Amazon bill summary

The Amazon bill summary section shows an overview of your monthly charges. The information shows your invoice totals for the closed billing periods (the billing status appears as Issued).

Highest cost by service provider

The Highest cost by service provider section identifies your account's service and Amazon Web Services Region with the highest cost for the billing period, and shows the month-over-month trends for each. For pending billing periods, the month-over-month trend compares the month-to-date spend in the current billing period with the equivalent portion of the previous billing period.

To view and download a PDF format for individual invoices, choose the Invoice ID.

Savings

This tab summarizes your savings during the billing period as the outcome of credits, or other discount programs. These savings are also reflected in the Charges by service, Charges by account, and Invoices sections. Choose each savings type to see the details by service.
