The per-GB rate table for AWS data transfer out to the internet, the line item AWS bills for outbound traffic. The first 100 GB each month is free, then it is $0.09/GB for the first 10 TB, tiering down to $0.05/GB above 150 TB. Official source →
Data transfer out, per GB, 2026
AWS aggregates outbound traffic from EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda and other services into one tiered meter called data transfer out to the internet. After the 100 GB free monthly allowance, the first 10 TB is $0.09/GB, the next 40 TB is $0.085/GB, the next 100 TB is $0.07/GB, and anything over 150 TB is $0.05/GB.
These are the standard US and Europe region rates. Some regions cost more: Asia Pacific (Singapore) starts at $0.12/GB. The 100 GB free allowance is shared across every region and service except China and GovCloud.

Per-GB tiers at a glance
cumulative monthly volumeTiers are cumulative across the billing month and aggregated across services. The price of each GB is the rate of the tier it falls into, not a flat rate applied to your whole bill.
[01]What it costs at common volumes
Base internet egress only, after the 100 GB free allowance, at standard US and EU rates. Figures are computed from the tier table above using the same engine as the calculator.

Real bills are usually higher. NAT Gateway processing ($0.045/GB), cross-AZ transfer ($0.01/GB each way), and load balancer fees stack on top. See the hidden costs breakdown and the full AWS worked example.
[02]What the data transfer out meter does and does not cover
Outbound traffic from EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, API Gateway responses, and most services to the public internet, aggregated into one tiered meter.
The first 100 GB per month is free across all services and regions (except China and GovCloud), then billing starts at $0.09/GB.
Inbound data transfer (ingress) to AWS is $0.00/GB. Only outbound is metered. See the dedicated ingress cost page.
CloudFront ($0.085/GB first 10 TB, 1 TB free), cross-region transfer ($0.01 to $0.02/GB), cross-AZ ($0.01/GB each way), and NAT Gateway ($0.045/GB) are billed separately.

[03]Frequently asked
Q.01How much is AWS data transfer out to the internet per GB in 2026?
›
AWS data transfer out to the internet is $0.09 per GB for the first 10 TB each month, after a 100 GB free allowance. It then drops to $0.085 per GB for the next 40 TB (the 10 to 50 TB band), $0.07 per GB for the next 100 TB (50 to 150 TB), and $0.05 per GB for everything over 150 TB. These are the standard US and Europe region rates; some regions such as Asia Pacific (Singapore) start higher at $0.12 per GB.
Q.02Is the first 100 GB of AWS data transfer out free?
›
Yes. AWS includes 100 GB per month of free data transfer out to the internet, aggregated across all AWS services (S3, EC2, RDS, Lambda, and more) and all regions except China and GovCloud. This allowance is always free, not part of the 12-month introductory free tier. Only egress above 100 GB in a billing month is charged, starting at $0.09 per GB.
Q.03What is the AWS data transfer out price for the first 10 TB?
›
The first 10 TB per month of data transfer out to the internet is billed at $0.09 per GB after the 100 GB free allowance. So 1 TB per month costs $83.16 and a full 10 TB costs $912.60. The rate only changes once cumulative monthly egress passes 10 TB, where the next 40 TB drops to $0.085 per GB.
Q.04Does AWS data transfer out pricing vary by region?
›
Yes. The $0.09 per GB first-tier rate applies to US and Europe regions and most major regions, but several regions are more expensive. Asia Pacific (Singapore) starts at $0.12 per GB, a 33 percent premium, and other regions in South America, Africa, and parts of Asia Pacific also run higher. The 100 GB monthly free allowance is shared across every region.
Q.05Where is the official AWS data transfer out pricing documentation?
›
AWS publishes data transfer out rates on the EC2 On-Demand pricing page under the Data Transfer section (aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/on-demand). The same tiered rates are referenced on the S3, VPC, and per-service pricing pages because data transfer out is aggregated across services into a single tiered meter. The figures on this page were verified against that documentation in June 2026.
Rates verified against AWS EC2 on-demand data transfer pricing in June 2026. Next review due September 2026.
