Prices are estimates only and are not intended as actual price quotes. Actual pricing may vary depending on the type of agreement entered with Microsoft, date of purchase, and the currency exchange rate. Prices are calculated based on US dollars and converted using London closing spot rates that are captured in the two business days prior to the last business day of the previous month end. If the two business days prior to the end of the month autumn on a bank holiday in major markets, the rate setting day is generally the day immediately preceding the two business days. This rate applies to all transactions during the forthcoming month. Sign in to the Azure pricing calculator to see pricing based on your current programme/offer with Microsoft. Contact an Azure sales specialist for more information on pricing or to request a price quote. See frequently asked questions about Azure pricing.

Dev Box enables you to pay a predictable monthly price per Dev Box instance for unlimited usage of that instance during a billing month.
For flexible usage, pay as you go up to the max monthly price based on the configuration of the Dev Box instance. When a Dev Box is created, you pay a monthly storage fee until the Dev Box is deleted and pay a compute rate for each hour of active usage during the month. When a Dev Box's total cost (including its monthly storage and hourly compute) reaches the level of the max monthly price of that instance for that month, billing will automatically stop for that Dev Box instance.
Take advantage of the predictable max monthly price per Dev Box that automatically applies for scenarios that require higher utilisation, and hourly pricing for scenarios that require flexibility to optimise your costs.
