    Pay for compute capacity by the second, with no long-term commitments or upfront payments. Increase or decrease consumption on demand.

    Learn more

  • Azure savings plan for compute

    Save money across select compute services globally by committing to spend a fixed hourly amount for 1 or 3 years, unlocking lower prices until you reach your hourly commitment. Suited for dynamic workloads while accommodating for planned or unplanned changes.

    Learn more

  • Reservations

    Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instances provide significant cost reduction, compared to pay-as-you-go rates, when you commit to one-year or three-year terms. Suited for stable, predictable workloads with no planned changes.

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 fall 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 upcoming month. Sign in to the Azure pricing calculator to see pricing based on your current program/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.

Please note, there is no additional charge to use Azure Machine Learning. However, along with compute, you will incur separate charges for other Azure services consumed, including but not limited to Azure Blob Storage, Azure Key Vault, Azure Container Registry and Azure Application Insights.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about Azure pricing
  • Azure Machine Learning customers are responsible for the costs of Azure resources consumed including Virtual Machines.

  • You will be billed daily. For billing purposes, a day commences at midnight UTC. Bills are generated monthly.

    • Training:

      As a specific example, let’s say you train a model for 100 hours using 10 DS14 v2 VMs on an Basic workspace in US West 2. For a billing month of 30 days, your bill will be as follows:

      Azure VM Charge: (10 machines * $1.196 per machine) * 100 hours = $1196

      Azure Machine Learning Charge: (10 machines * 16 cores * $0 per core) * 100 hours = $0

      Total: $1196 + $0 = $1196

    • Inferencing:

      As a specific example, let’s say you deploy a model for inferencing all day for a 30-day billing month using 10 DS14 v2 VMs in Basic in US West 2. For a billing month of 30 days, your bill will be as follows:

      Azure VM Charge: (10 machines * $1.196 per machine) * (24 hours * 30 days) = $8611.2

      Azure Machine Learning Charge: (10 machines * 16 cores * $0 per core) * (24 hours * 30 days) = $0

      Total: $8611.2 + $0 = $8611.2

    Please note there are no additional Azure Machine Learning charges. Along with compute charges, you will incur separate charges for any Azure services consumed, including but not limited to HDInsight, Azure Container Registry, Azure Blob Storage, Application Insights, Azure Key Vault, Virtual Network, Azure Event Hub, and Azure Stream Analytics.
