Understanding utilization metrics and calculations

You can find high-level metrics in the Utilization report section.

  • Savings Plans spend – Your Savings Plans commitment spend over the lookback period.

  • On-Demand spend equivalent – The amount you would have spent on the same usage if you didn’t commit to Savings Plans. This amount is the equivalent On-Demand cost based on current On-Demand rates.

  • Total net savings – The amount you saved using Savings Plans commitments over the selected time period, compared to the On-Demand cost estimate.

You can see your Savings Plans utilization at an hourly, daily, or monthly granularity, based on your lookback period. You can customize your filters by member account, Amazon Region, Savings Plans type, and instance family in the Filters section.

If you’re a user in a management account, you can see the aggregated utilization for the entire Consolidated Billing family.
