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.

Azure NAT Gateway
NAT Gateway (previously known as Virtual Network NAT) allows customers to simplify outbound connectivity for a virtual network at a per subnet level. Customers can scale their outbound connectivity from a virtual network by adding frontend IP addresses to NAT Gateway. NAT Gateway allows for outbound and response traffic to pass through. Unsolicited inbound connections from the internet are not permitted.
Billing starts when the resource is created. Data processing charges for NAT Gateway include outbound and return data.
Azure NAT Gateway offers 2 SKUs, Standard and StandardV2. Standard provides single availability zone support, whereas StandardV2 provides zone redundancy. Both are matched in price. There is no cost difference between the two SKUs.
Note: In addition to NAT Gateway Data Processed charges, Bandwidth charges are also applicable. Learn more about Bandwidth pricing.
