Amazon S3 pricing for backup storage

Amazon S3 does not have one storage price. Region, storage class, object count, object size, request mix, retrieval speed, restored-copy lifetime, destination, and object age can all change the bill. The worked receipts use the captured US East rates and keep archive restoration separate from early deletion.

Price your own workload against every vendor, including the worst-day restore and how long it takes to come back.

What the pricing page does not lead with

The first 100 GB of monthly internet transfer is free across AWS services and Regions, except China and GovCloud.
It is one shared allowance, not 100 GB per S3 bucket or per Region. Another AWS workload can consume it before a restore.
Source, checked 2026-07-26
Internet transfer is graduated: $0.09 per GB for the next 10,240 GB, $0.085 through 51,200 GB, $0.07 through 153,600 GB, and $0.05 through 512,000 GB.
Each paid band keeps its own rate. More than 500 TB per month is not published as a self-service rate because AWS directs the buyer to contact sales.
Source, checked 2026-07-25T15:34:44Z
Same-Region transfer between S3 and another AWS service is not charged; the captured cross-Region S3 transfer rate is $0.02 per GB.
Destination classification comes before the public-internet tier table. A same-Region result cannot be reused for a cross-Region restore.

Transfer from S3 to CloudFront is not charged on the S3 leg.
CloudFront delivery has its own pricing. A free origin-transfer line does not mean the end-user delivery path is free.
Source, checked 2026-07-26
Glacier Flexible Retrieval and Deep Archive restores create a temporary readable copy billed at S3 Standard storage rates for the selected number of days.
Retrieval and restore requests do not include the temporary-copy storage line.
Source, checked 2026-07-26
Glacier restore speed is a priced choice: Flexible Retrieval offers Expedited, Standard, and Bulk, while Deep Archive offers Standard and Bulk.
The retrieval tier changes latency, request price, and per-GB retrieval price. A restore quote without the selected tier is incomplete.
Source, checked 2026-07-26
A read-only restore does not trigger an early-deletion charge.
Early deletion applies when the archived source is deleted, overwritten, or transitioned before its minimum. Restoring a temporary copy leaves that source in place.
Source, checked 2026-07-26
S3 Standard-IA and One Zone-IA have 30-day minimums, Glacier Instant and Flexible have 90-day minimums, and Deep Archive has a 180-day minimum.
Delete, overwrite, or transition before the class minimum charges the prorated unused storage period.
Source, checked 2026-07-26
Glacier Flexible Retrieval and Deep Archive add 40 KB of metadata for every archived object.
AWS bills 8 KB at S3 Standard rates and 32 KB at the applicable Glacier rate. Object count therefore changes the storage bill even when payload bytes do not.
Source, checked 2026-07-26
Standard-IA, One Zone-IA, and Glacier Instant Retrieval bill objects smaller than 128 KB as 128 KB.
A small-object backup can pay for substantially more stored capacity than its payload total.
Source, checked 2026-07-26
S3 Intelligent-Tiering charges per-object monitoring, but objects below 128 KB stay in Frequent Access and are not monitored.
Small objects avoid the monitoring charge but also cannot move automatically into the cheaper access tiers.
Source, checked 2026-07-26
Objects moved into Intelligent-Tiering Archive Access or Deep Archive Access carry 8 KB of Standard-rate metadata and 32 KB of archive-rate metadata.
Automatic tiering removes manual transition decisions, not per-object archive metadata.
Source, checked 2026-07-26
LIST requests for every general-purpose storage class use the S3 Standard PUT, COPY, POST, and LIST rate.
data/providers.json labels each cold class's grouped Class A field as PUT/COPY/POST/LIST at that class's higher ingest rate. That conflicts with the current pricing page, so cold-class LIST-specific bills are marked stale rather than computed from the grouped label.
Source, checked 2026-07-26
DELETE and CANCEL requests are free, but console browsing creates billable GET, LIST, and other requests.
A human inspection or backup-tool inventory can add request charges even when object deletion itself is free.
Source, checked 2026-07-26
S3 Express One Zone uses directory buckets in one Availability Zone and does not support S3 Object Lock.
It is not eligible for a multi-zone immutable backup merely because its request and latency profile is attractive.
Source, checked 2026-07-26
Expedited Glacier retrieval can also use separately billed monthly Provisioned Capacity Units.
The official page describes the optional capacity product, but data/providers.json does not contain its monthly rate. That optional line remains not published in these bills.
Source, checked 2026-07-26
Transfer Acceleration is an additional transfer meter.
The captured direct-transfer scenarios do not use acceleration. Turning it on changes the upload, download, or cross-Region bill and must be priced separately.
Source, checked 2026-07-26
S3 rates differ by Region.
The captured Frankfurt storage rates are not the US East rates. A provider-wide per-TB quote without a Region is incomplete.
Source, checked 2026-07-25T15:34:44Z
Accounts created before 2025-07-15 may retain the legacy 12-month S3 allowances; newer customers use the credit-based AWS Free Tier and can choose a free plan lasting up to six months.
The dataset's 5 GB S3 field cannot be subtracted without the account creation date, plan, remaining credits, and legacy eligibility.

The current pricing page assigns general-purpose LIST requests to the S3 Standard request schedule, while data/providers.json groups LIST with each cold class's Class A rate. That quote is stale until the dataset is reconciled. The local dataset also has no self-service rate beyond 512,000 billable GB, no monthly Provisioned Capacity Unit rate, and no Transfer Acceleration schedule. None is converted to zero.

Every class, and the rules that change its bill

15 classes captured for this vendor. Each rule below is a published condition that moves a real line on the bill, with the page it came from.

S3 Standard3 rules

Frequently accessed data that needs multi-Availability-Zone resilience, millisecond access, and no minimum storage duration.

Published rules that move the bill for S3 Standard
Rule	Value	Why it moves the bill
Storage tiers	$0.023 per GB-month through 51,200 GB, $0.022 from 51,200 through 512,000 GB, then $0.021 above 512,000 GB; graduated.	Only the bytes in each band receive that band's rate. Applying the last rate reached to all stored data understates the bill.
Requests	PUT, COPY, POST, and LIST cost $0.005 per 1,000; GET, SELECT, and other reads cost $0.0004 per 1,000; DELETE and CANCEL are not charged.	A backup month has request charges even when retrieval is free. Console browsing also creates billable requests.
Retrieval, minimum duration, and minimum object size	Retrieval not charged; minimum duration does not apply; minimum object size does not apply.	A read-only hot-class restore has request and transfer lines, but no retrieval or early-deletion remainder.

S3 Standard-IA3 rules

Infrequently accessed, multi-Availability-Zone data that still needs millisecond reads.

Published rules that move the bill for S3 Standard-IA
Rule	Value	Why it moves the bill
Capacity and retrieval rates	$0.0125 per GB-month plus $0.01 per GB retrieved.	The lower capacity rate does not include reads. A full restore adds retrieval before requests and egress.
Requests and transition into the class	PUT, COPY, and POST cost $0.01 per 1,000; GET, SELECT, and other reads cost $0.001 per 1,000; lifecycle transition into Standard-IA costs $0.01 per 1,000.	Ingest, lifecycle moves, and reads use different request meters; the provider-wide gotchas explain LIST treatment.
Minimums	128 KB minimum billable object size and 30-day minimum storage duration; early deletion uses the prorated remainder.	Small objects are billed as 128 KB, and delete, overwrite, or transition before day 30 buys the unused days.

S3 One Zone-IA3 rules

Re-creatable, infrequently accessed data that can accept storage in one Availability Zone.

Published rules that move the bill for S3 One Zone-IA
Rule	Value	Why it moves the bill
Monthly capacity and read access	$0.01 per GB-month plus $0.01 per GB retrieved.	The storage discount changes durability placement, not the retrieval or internet-transfer meter.
Requests and transition into the class	PUT, COPY, and POST cost $0.01 per 1,000; GET, SELECT, and other reads cost $0.001 per 1,000; lifecycle transition into One Zone-IA costs $0.01 per 1,000.	Request costs remain separate from storage and retrieval; the provider-wide gotchas explain LIST treatment.
Minimums	128 KB minimum billable object size and 30-day minimum storage duration; early deletion uses the prorated remainder.	Many small backup objects can be billed above their payload size, and churn inside 30 days pays for unused time.

S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval3 rules

Archive data that is rarely read but must remain available with millisecond access.

Published rules that move the bill for S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval
Rule	Value	Why it moves the bill
Archive capacity and instant reads	$0.004 per GB-month plus $0.03 per GB retrieved.	Instant access avoids a restore wait, but a full read can cost much more than one month of storage.
Requests and transition into the class	PUT, COPY, and POST cost $0.02 per 1,000; GET, SELECT, and other reads cost $0.01 per 1,000; lifecycle transition into Glacier Instant Retrieval costs $0.02 per 1,000.	Object count can materially change an archive bill even when byte volume is fixed; the provider-wide gotchas explain LIST treatment.
Minimums	128 KB minimum billable object size and 90-day minimum storage duration; early deletion uses the prorated remainder.	Small objects are rounded up for storage, and deleting, overwriting, or transitioning before day 90 buys the remaining time.

S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval4 rules

Archive data that can wait minutes or hours for a temporary readable copy.

Published rules that move the bill for S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval
Rule	Value	Why it moves the bill
Storage and per-object overhead	$0.0036 per GB-month plus 40 KB of metadata per archived object.	The payload rate alone understates storage for repositories containing many small objects.
Retrieval tiers	Expedited: $0.03 per GB plus $10 per 1,000 restore requests, usually 1-5 minutes. Standard: $0.01 per GB plus $0.05 per 1,000, usually 3-5 hours. Bulk: not charged, usually 5-12 hours.	The selected speed changes both per-GB retrieval and restore-request charges.
Requests and transition into the class	PUT, COPY, and POST cost $0.03 per 1,000; GET, SELECT, and other reads cost $0.0004 per 1,000; lifecycle transition into Glacier Flexible Retrieval costs $0.03 per 1,000.	Archive creation, restoration, and later reads are separate request events; LIST treatment is explained in the provider-wide gotchas.
Minimum duration	90 days; early deletion uses the prorated remainder.	Removing, overwriting, or transitioning the object before day 90 charges the unused storage period. A read-only restore does not.

S3 Glacier Deep Archive4 rules

Long-lived archive and backup data where restore time can be measured in hours.

Published rules that move the bill for S3 Glacier Deep Archive
Rule	Value	Why it moves the bill
Storage and per-object overhead	$0.00099 per GB-month plus 40 KB of metadata per archived object.	A repository with many small objects can carry much more billed metadata than its payload-only estimate shows.
Retrieval tiers	Standard: $0.02 per GB plus $0.10 per 1,000 restore requests, within 12 hours. Bulk: $0.0025 per GB plus $0.025 per 1,000, within 48 hours.	The faster tier costs eight times as much per retrieved GB in the captured region before egress and temporary-copy storage.
Requests and transition into the class	PUT, COPY, and POST cost $0.05 per 1,000; GET, SELECT, and other reads cost $0.0004 per 1,000; lifecycle transition into Deep Archive costs $0.05 per 1,000.	Object count affects both archive ingest and restore requests; LIST treatment is explained in the provider-wide gotchas.
Minimum duration	180 days; early deletion uses the prorated remainder.	Removing, overwriting, or transitioning the object before day 180 charges the unused storage period. A read-only restore does not.

S3 Intelligent-Tiering4 rules

Data whose access pattern is unknown or changes enough to justify per-object monitoring and automatic tier moves.

Published rules that move the bill for S3 Intelligent-Tiering
Rule	Value	Why it moves the bill
Access-tier storage	Frequent Access starts at $0.023 per GB-month and follows Standard's graduated tiers; Infrequent $0.0125; Archive Instant $0.004; Archive Access $0.0036; Deep Archive Access $0.00099.	The monthly capacity bill depends on where objects actually reside, not only on the class name.
Monitoring and small-object eligibility	$0.0025 per 1,000 monitored objects-month; objects below 128 KB remain in Frequent Access and have no monitoring charge.	Object count creates a recurring meter, while small objects cannot earn the automatic cold-tier savings.
Retrieval and automatic transitions	Standard and Bulk retrieval and restore requests are not charged across all five access tiers; expedited Archive Access retrieval is $0.03 per GB plus $10 per 1,000 requests. Automatic tier moves are not charged.	The usual archive retrieval line is absent, but expedited recovery can still create one.
Requests	PUT, COPY, POST, and LIST cost $0.005 per 1,000; GET, SELECT, and other reads cost $0.0004 per 1,000.	Monitoring does not remove normal application request charges.

S3 Standard3 rules

Frequently accessed data kept in Frankfurt with multi-Availability-Zone resilience and no minimum storage duration.

Published rules that move the bill for S3 Standard
Rule	Value	Why it moves the bill
Storage tiers	$0.0245 per GB-month through 51,200 GB, $0.0235 from 51,200 through 512,000 GB, then $0.0225 above 512,000 GB; graduated.	Frankfurt storage costs more than the captured US East equivalent, and only bytes inside a band receive its rate.
Requests	PUT, COPY, POST, and LIST cost $0.005 per 1,000; GET, SELECT, and other reads cost $0.0004 per 1,000; DELETE and CANCEL are not charged.	Requests remain billable even though retrieval and minimum-duration charges do not apply.
Retrieval, minimum duration, and minimum object size	Retrieval not charged; minimum duration does not apply; minimum object size does not apply.	A read-only hot-class restore has request and transfer lines, but no retrieval or early-deletion remainder.

Infrequently accessed Frankfurt data that still needs multi-Availability-Zone placement and millisecond reads.

Published rules that move the bill for S3 Standard-IA
Rule	Value	Why it moves the bill
Regional capacity and read access	$0.0135 per GB-month plus $0.01 per GB retrieved.	Frankfurt changes the storage rate while the retrieval meter remains separate.
Requests and transition into the class	PUT, COPY, and POST cost $0.01 per 1,000; GET, SELECT, and other reads cost $0.001 per 1,000; lifecycle transition into Standard-IA costs $0.01 per 1,000.	Ingest, lifecycle moves, and reads use different request meters; the provider-wide gotchas explain LIST treatment.
Minimums	128 KB minimum billable object size and 30-day minimum storage duration; early deletion uses the prorated remainder.	Small objects are billed as 128 KB, and churn inside 30 days pays for unused time.

S3 One Zone-IA3 rules

Re-creatable Frankfurt data that can accept infrequent-access storage in one Availability Zone.

Published rules that move the bill for S3 One Zone-IA
Rule	Value	Why it moves the bill
Single-zone capacity and reads	$0.0108 per GB-month plus $0.01 per GB retrieved.	Region changes the capacity rate, while a full read still adds retrieval and egress.
Requests and transition into the class	PUT, COPY, and POST cost $0.01 per 1,000; GET, SELECT, and other reads cost $0.001 per 1,000; lifecycle transition into One Zone-IA costs $0.01 per 1,000.	Request costs remain separate from storage and retrieval; the provider-wide gotchas explain LIST treatment.
Minimums	128 KB minimum billable object size and 30-day minimum storage duration; early deletion uses the prorated remainder.	Small objects are rounded up and early removal buys the unused days.

S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval3 rules

Rarely read Frankfurt archive data that still needs millisecond access.

Published rules that move the bill for S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval
Rule	Value	Why it moves the bill
Regional archive capacity and instant reads	$0.005 per GB-month plus $0.03 per GB retrieved.	Frankfurt storage costs more than the captured US East class, while retrieval remains a separate full-read meter.
Requests and transition into the class	PUT, COPY, and POST cost $0.02 per 1,000; GET, SELECT, and other reads cost $0.01 per 1,000; lifecycle transition into Glacier Instant Retrieval costs $0.02 per 1,000.	Object count changes archive ingest and read costs; the provider-wide gotchas explain LIST treatment.
Minimums	128 KB minimum billable object size and 90-day minimum storage duration; early deletion uses the prorated remainder.	Small objects and churn inside 90 days can erase the apparent capacity saving.

S3 Intelligent-Tiering4 rules

Frankfurt data with unknown or changing access patterns that can justify per-object monitoring.

Published rules that move the bill for S3 Intelligent-Tiering
Rule	Value	Why it moves the bill
Access-tier storage	Frequent Access starts at $0.0245 per GB-month and is graduated; Infrequent $0.0135; Archive Instant $0.005; Archive Access $0.00405; Deep Archive Access $0.0018.	Region and the object's current access tier both move the capacity bill.
Monitoring and small-object eligibility	$0.0025 per 1,000 monitored objects-month; objects below 128 KB remain in Frequent Access and have no monitoring charge.	Object count creates a recurring meter, while small objects cannot earn automatic cold-tier savings.
Retrieval and automatic transitions	Standard and Bulk retrieval and restore requests are not charged across all five access tiers; expedited Archive Access retrieval is $0.03 per GB plus $10 per 1,000 requests. Automatic tier moves are not charged.	The normal archive retrieval line is absent, but expedited recovery can still create one.
Requests	PUT, COPY, POST, and LIST cost $0.005 per 1,000; GET, SELECT, and other reads cost $0.0004 per 1,000.	Monitoring does not remove normal application request charges.

S3 Express One Zone4 rules

Latency-sensitive data in a directory bucket within one Availability Zone, not a general-purpose multi-zone backup class.

Published rules that move the bill for S3 Express One Zone
Rule	Value	Why it moves the bill
Storage, upload, and retrieval	$0.11 per GB-month, $0.0032 per GB uploaded, and $0.0006 per GB retrieved.	Express One Zone adds byte-based ingress and retrieval meters that S3 Standard does not have.
Requests	PUT, COPY, POST, LIST, and RenameObject cost $0.00113 per 1,000; GET and other reads cost $0.00003 per 1,000; DELETE is not charged.	The operation schedule differs from every general-purpose class and RenameObject is unique to Express One Zone.
Minimums	Minimum storage duration does not apply; minimum object size does not apply; capacity commitment does not apply.	There is no early-deletion remainder, but the separate upload, retrieval, and request meters remain.
Bucket and immutability eligibility	Directory bucket required; S3 Object Lock unsupported.	A backup that requires general-purpose bucket behavior or Object Lock is ineligible even if the performance is attractive.
