About the calculator.
What is the difference between tiered and volume pricing?
Tiered (graduated) pricing charges each unit at the price of the tier it falls in. Volume pricing charges every unit at the price of the tier the total reaches, which makes the bill drop when usage crosses a boundary.
Is anything I type sent anywhere?
No. The calculator runs entirely in your browser, and nothing you enter leaves the page.
How are the minimum and cap applied?
To the usage charge: the charge is raised to the minimum, then lowered to the cap. A platform fee, if you add one, is charged on top.
