Your FOCUS cost dashboard

One workload, four FOCUS costs, five interactive views. Bookmark this page: the dashboard is yours to use as often as you like.

How to use it in five steps

  • Enter one real workload: hourly price, monthly usage and your discounts
  • Follow the waterfall from ListCost to EffectiveCost
  • Check commitment health with the utilisation and coverage gauges
  • Compare BilledCost and EffectiveCost month by month, then cumulated
  • Click the sensitivity curve to find your right commitment size

Start with the scenario called well-sized commitment, then try over-committed and prepaid 3-year deal to see how the four costs drift apart.
