Billing period for this estimate
Used to calculate total spend over the selected billing period.
Short-lived data (deleted within 90 days)
Fraction of stored data that churns quickly (e.g., VM snapshots, log archives, temp backups). Used to model Wasabi's 90-day minimum storage duration penalty.
Estimated monthly bill (e3)
Approximate total over :
Storage plus egress (3X free egress included). Ingress and API calls are included at no extra charge.
How we calculate e3
- 1 Apply tiered CAD rates to of storage.
- 2 Sum monthly storage charges across the volume bands.
- 3 Add egress charges if egress exceeds 5X storage (/month).
- 4 Multiply by months. Ingress and API calls remain $0.

Wasabi 90-day min
The green part is what you'd pay if every object stayed in Wasabi for at least 90 days. The red part is the ongoing "hidden" cost from of your data being written and deleted in under 90 days.
With your current settings, that hidden cost adds about CAD on top of Wasabi's headline price over this period. As long as you keep deleting short-lived data, that red segment never goes away.

- $7.65 CAD / TiB / month · 25–49.99 TiB stored
- Call for quote · 50+ TiB stored
For your scenario
- TiB selected.
- Monthly storage (tiered across those bands) = .
- Monthly egress (3X free) = .
- Total over months = .
Steps
- Apply tiered CAD rates to selected capacity.
- Sum monthly storage charges across tiers.
- Add egress charges if egress exceeds 5X storage.
- Multiply by selected months (ingress/API are included).
Wasabi (Pay-as-You-Go)
Advertised price: $7.99 USD / TB / month (≈ $0.0078 USD / GB) with a 1 TB minimum and 90-day minimum storage duration.
For your scenario
- Effective billed size = max(selected TiB, 1 TB).
- Base monthly charge = .
- Short-lived data fraction = .
- Hidden cost from 90-day penalty = (ongoing).

- Total CAD over months = .
Steps
- Enforce 1 TB minimum.
- Calculate base monthly charge.
- Add ongoing penalty for short-lived data (2× base × short-lived fraction).
- Multiply by retention months and convert to CAD.
Note: The 90-day minimum storage duration means every GB that touches Wasabi is charged for at least 90 days. If you delete objects before 90 days, you still pay for the remaining days. This penalty is ongoing as long as you have short-lived data churn.
