| 17 | +To help you manage costs related to your organization, |
| 18 | +Upsun provides estimates for the current month and the next. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +You can set billing alerts to ensure you don't overspend, |
| 21 | +and track resource usage on each of your projects. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +For details on costs, see the [{{% vendor/name %}} pricing page](https://upsun.com/pricing/). |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## Access your organization billing information |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +To access your organization billing information in the [Console](/administration/web/_index.md): |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +1. Navigate to your organization. |
| 30 | +2. Open the user menu (your name or profile picture). |
| 31 | +3. Click **Billing**.</br> |
| 32 | + The **Overview** tab is displayed. |
| 33 | + You can view your current month and next month estimates. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +### Current month estimate |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +The [**Overview** tab](#access-your-organization-billing-information) shows an estimate of how much you may be charged at the end of this month.</br> |
| 40 | +This estimate is based on: |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +- Your organization settings (user management settings, number of projects, potential add-ons, support SLA, etc.) |
| 43 | +- Your resource allocation on each project |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +The estimate includes the history of changes made since the beginning of the month. |
| 46 | +**It cannot be 100% accurate, as it is impossible to know exactly what your future usage will be.**</br> |
| 47 | +However, for maximum accuracy, the current month estimate includes three underlying estimates, |
| 48 | +each with its own calculation: |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +- A [user management estimate](#user-management-estimate) |
| 51 | +- An [accumulated resource usage estimate](#accumulated-resource-usage-estimate) |
| 52 | +- An [allocated resource usage estimate](#allocated-resource-usage-estimate) |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +#### User management estimate |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +The following formula is used to estimate how much user license and user management add-on fees may cost you this month:</br> |
| 57 | +`unit price x prorated quantity`. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +| Item | Description | |
| 60 | +| ------------------ | ----------- | |
| 61 | +| `unit price` | A fixed unit price. | |
| 62 | +| `prorated quantity`| An average of past changes and current settings, applied for all the remaining days in the month. | |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +All items used for the calculation are displayed in the **Overview** tab. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +#### Accumulated resource usage estimate |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +The resources consumed for builds, bandwidth, and log forwarding are accumulated resources.</br> |
| 69 | +The following formula is used to estimate how much accumulated resource usage may cost you this month:</br> |
| 70 | +`current accumulation + (unit price x daily average x remaining days in the month)`. |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +| Item | Description | |
| 73 | +| ---------------------- | ----------- | |
| 74 | +| `current accumulation` | The amount of accumulated resources you have effectively used so far this month. | |
| 75 | +| `unit price` | A fixed unit price. | |
| 76 | +| `daily average` | An average based on the accumulated resource usage you've had over the last 30 days. | |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +All items used for the calculation are displayed in the [**Overview** tab](#access-your-organization-billing-information). |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +#### Allocated resource usage estimate |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +The resources consumed by your applications and services (CPU, RAM, and storage) are allocated resources.</br> |
| 83 | +The following formula is used to estimate how much allocated resource usage may cost you this month:</br> |
| 84 | +`unit price x prorated quantity`. |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +| Item | Description | |
| 87 | +| -------------------- | ----------- | |
| 88 | +| `unit price` | A fixed unit price. | |
| 89 | +| `prorated quantity` | An average of past changes and current settings, applied for all the remaining days in the month. | |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +All items used for the calculation are displayed in the [**Overview** tab](#access-your-organization-billing-information). |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +### Next month estimate |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +From the [**Overview** tab](#access-your-organization-billing-information), you can also access an estimate for next month. |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +Like your [current month estimate](#current-month-estimate), it includes your organization settings and resource allocation on each project. |
| 98 | +However, your next month estimate **does not include any history of changes**. |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +It is solely based on your current organization settings and resource allocation, |
| 101 | +and shows what you may be charged if you don't make any changes until the end of next month. |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +The following formulas are used: |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +- `unit price x current allocation` to estimate how much user license, user management add-on fees, |
| 106 | + and allocated resources may respectively cost you next month. |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +- `unit price x daily average x 30 days` to estimate how much accumulated resources may cost you next month. |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +### Invoice |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +Your invoice provides definitive information on what you will be charged. |
| 113 | +It is calculated at month-end close, and includes your actual organization settings and resource usage. |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +To access your current invoice and a history of past invoices, open the **Invoices** tab: |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +## Set a billing alert |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +{{% note theme="info" title="Feature availability" %}} |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +Billing alerts can only be set and received by the organization owner, |
| 124 | +users with the [**Manage Billing** permission](/administration/users.md#organization-permissions), |
| 125 | +and identified billing contacts. |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +{{% /note %}} |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +You can set billing alerts to receive an email when your [current month estimate](#current-month-estimate) reaches a defined threshold. |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +{{% note theme="warning" title="Warning"%}} |
| 132 | +Current month estimates are computed once a day only. |
| 133 | +Therefore, email notifications can only be triggered once a day too. |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +You may want to increase your billing alert threshold after receiving an email notification. |
| 136 | +However, if the new threshold is reached later on the same day, |
| 137 | +**you won't get notified until the following day**, when the current month estimate is computed again. |
| 138 | +{{% /note %}} |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +To set a billing alert on your organization: |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +1. Navigate to your organization. |
| 143 | +2. Open the user menu (your name or profile picture). |
| 144 | +3. Click **Billing**.</br> |
| 145 | +4. In the **Overview** tab, click **Set alert**. |
| 146 | +5. Enter a threshold. |
| 147 | +6. Click **Create alert**. |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +Note that you can edit or delete a billing alert by clicking the billing alert button in the **Overview** tab: |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +## Track resource usage on a project |
| 153 | + |
| 154 | +{{% note theme="info" title="Feature availability" %}} |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +This feature is available to users with the [**Manage Billing** permission](/administration/users.md#organization-permissions) on the organization. |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +{{% /note %}} |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +You can track costs related to resource usage on a specific project in the [Console](/administration/web/_index.md). |
| 161 | +To do so, after you've set or updated resources on your project: |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +1. Navigate to your organization. |
| 164 | +2. Open the user menu (your name or profile picture). |
| 165 | +3. Click **Billing**.</br> |
| 166 | + Your [current month estimate](#current-month-estimate) shows how much each project in your organization is expected to cost this month. |
| 167 | +4. You can select a project to view resource allocation and usage details.</br> |
| 168 | + To do so, click **{{< icon more >}} More** next to it, and select **Project Billing**.</br> |
| 169 | +  |
