CSC's services are free of charge for academic research, teaching or training for members of Finnish higher education institutions and state research institutes. **Billing Units** (BUs) are used to allocate resources for users' projects using our services. CSC's services consume four different Billing Units (CPU, GPU, Cloud, Storage) based on the service and type of usage. You can [apply for Billing Units in MyCSC portal](how-to-apply-for-billing-units.md) and CSC grants BUs to projects. Usage consumes Billing Units but **no actual payment** is required.

# Virtual machine flavors and Billing Unit rates

Currently, Pouta will bill for the use of 3 resources: storage volumes, floating IPs and virtual machines. The account of use of resources is done in increments of one hour. A good way to estimate usage cost is the [Billing Unit calculator](https://research.csc.fi/resources/#buc) utility (*temporarily unavailable*). All these resources consume Cloud Billing Units, for more information about Billing in CSC, visit the [Billing](../../accounts/billing.md) page.

- **Storage volumes**: 3,5 Cloud BU / TiB hour. In the [Volumes](https://pouta.csc.fi/dashboard/project/volumes/) page of your project, you can see the existing volumes. The total size of the volume is billed, and it consumes Cloud BUs even if they are not attached to virtual machines. This is because the data is still stored on our systems. Please note that the price of Pouta volumes will be 3,6 Cloud BU / TiB hour for standard volume and 1,8 Cloud BU / TiB hour for capacity volume from year 2026.
66
- **Floating IPs**: 0,2 Cloud BU / hour. Every floating IP reserved to the project is billed. See the list of reserved [Floating IPs](https://pouta.csc.fi/dashboard/project/floating_ips/) of your project. Any extra routers you create and connect to the external network will be also billed for one floating IP. The default router included in the project does not consume Cloud Billing Units.
