DatabaseMeter

Public calculator

Database and application egress calculator

Estimate monthly outbound transfer from API or database responses, file downloads, and other known traffic, then compare it with an allowance you enter.

The estimate uses decimal KB/MB/GB and runs entirely in your browser.

What counts as egress

Egress is data transmitted out to a client. Depending on the provider, it can include database responses, connection-pooler traffic, Auth, object storage downloads, Realtime, functions, and log drains.

Why request counts are not enough

One million small responses can transfer less data than a few large downloads. Estimate average payload size from observability data or representative responses rather than treating each request equally.

Cached and uncached traffic

Providers may define separate cached and uncached categories with different quotas or prices. This calculator produces a transfer estimate and does not decide which provider category receives each byte.

Decimal units

The calculation uses 1 KB = 1,000 bytes, 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes, and 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. A provider dashboard may display decimal GB or binary GiB, so compare unit labels carefully.
