Here are some calculation examples for your convenience.

Video encoding example

Say you have a 150MB video. You want to encode it into 3 different formats - ogg, webm and mp4:

Step	Charge
Ogg - 70% assumed compression rate	150MB for the input file + 45MB for the output file (30% of 150MB)
WebM - 60% assumed compression rate	150MB for the input file + 60MB for the output file (40% of 150MB)
MP4 - 80% assumed compression rate	150MB for the input file + 30MB for the output file (20% of 150MB)
Total: 3 * 150MB + 45MB + 60MB + 30MB = 585MB

Example for discounts

Let's assume you would like to convert files that have a combined size of 3 GB. You have already calculated that this will mean 4 GB of video encoding, 2 GB of image resizing and 2 GB of audio encoding per month. You also want to store all uploaded files and all encoding results on Amazon S3.

Charge	Reason
4 GB of video encoding	100% of the gigabytes are charged
+ 2 GB of image resizing	100% of the gigabytes are charged
+ 0.5 GB of audio encoding	Audio encoding only charges 25% of your calculated 2 GB
+ 0.3 GB of storing the uploaded files on s3	Exporting uploaded files only costs 10% of your 3 GB worth of uploaded files
+ 0 GB of storing all encodings/resizings on s3	Storing conversion results is free
= 6.8 GB

In this case, you would do best to choose the "Startup" plan, which comes at $49 with 10 GB included and $6 per additional GB. For 10.8 GB you would pay $49 + (10.8 - 10) * $6 = $53.8.

If you have any questions with regard to pricing or choosing a plan, please let us know.
