# Cost reports

> View Cloud cost reports and reservation cost reports to track resource usage, commitments, and export cost data.

Cloud resource usage and associated costs are available on the Cost reports pages in the [Gcore Customer Portal](https://portal.gcore.com). To access them, navigate to **Cloud**, open a project, then select **Cloud Management** in the left sidebar and click **Cost Report** or **Reservation Cost Report**.

The Customer Portal provides two reports:

* **Cost Report** — costs for all Cloud resources used, calculated at on-demand rates. If active resource commitments exist, the prices shown don't reflect actual costs because commit discounts are not applied.
* **Reservation Cost Report** — monthly resource usage and costs that account for resource commitments. This report shows how much of the committed resources were consumed, whether commits were fully utilized, and any overcommit costs incurred when usage exceeded the reserved amount.

The same usage and cost figures are returned by the [Cost reports API](/api-reference/cloud#tag/Cost-Reports/operation/CostReportResourcesHandler.post).

Statistics for the last hour may contain incomplete data — for accurate results, review data collected more than an hour ago.

## Cost Report

> [!NOTE]
>
> This report uses on-demand rates, so commit discounts appear only in the [Reservation Cost Report](/cloud/getting-started/view-statistics-on-expenses#reservation-cost-report).

The report contains data about each Cloud resource in use, helping estimate future on-demand costs.

The cost data can be filtered by:

* **Projects** — view costs for all projects or a selected subset. Deleted projects appear in the **Projects** dropdown with a **(Deleted)** label and can be selected like active ones.
* **Regions** — filter by the region where resources were created.
* **Types** — filter by resource type.
* **Tags** — filter by tags assigned to resources.
* **Last 7 days**, **Last 30 days**, or a **Custom** range of at most one month.

After applying filters, the chart shows spend for the selected period. **Group by** splits that chart by **Region**, **Type**, **Flavor**, or **Project**.

**Total** shows that spend in the account currency. **Hours** and **Gb-hours** show the same period in those units.

The table under the chart lists each resource in the selected period:

* **Resource Name**
* **Resource Flavor**
* **Region**
* **Project**
* **Tags**
* **Usage**
* **First Seen Date**
* **Last Seen Date**
* **Cost**

The search field above the table matches part of a resource detail. The table and the chart update to the matches.

### Cost Report export

To export data for the selected period, click **Export CSV** in the top-right corner. Two file types are available:

* **Detailed** — a detailed breakdown of each resource.
* **Totals** — the total cost of resources in each location.

**Detailed CSV report**

The following table describes the columns in the **Detailed** CSV export.

| Column | Description |
| - | - |
| Service | Name of the Cloud resource. |
| UUID | Universally unique identifier assigned to the resource. Some resources, like IP addresses, don't have a UUID as they're already unique. |
| Feature | Billing identifier that combines resource type, configuration, region, and pricing model. Every resource has a feature value, including resources with a single configuration like IP addresses. |
| Tags | Tags added to the resource, including system-generated tags. |
| Service\_name | Name of the service as displayed in the **Name** field in the portal — the name of a virtual machine. |
| Region\_id | ID of the region where the resource was created, as listed by the [regions API](/api-reference/cloud/regions/list-regions). |
| Region\_name | Name of the geographical location of the data center where the resource was created. |
| Project\_id | ID of the project where the resource was created. The project ID is visible on the **Projects** page in the [grid view](/cloud/getting-started/projects/create-a-project#view-projects-in-different-layouts). |
| Project\_name | Name of the project where the resource was created. |
| First\_seen | Date when the resource was first detected in the billing system during the selected period. Identifies when a resource started generating costs. |
| Last\_seen | Date when the resource was last detected in the billing system during the selected period. Identifies when a resource stopped generating costs, though it doesn't necessarily indicate the resource was deleted. |
| Period\_from | Start date of the reporting period. Reflects the selected date range, not when the resource was created. |
| Period\_to | End date of the reporting period. Reflects the selected date range, not when the resource was stopped or deleted. |
| Units | Consumption measurement unit — either usage time (gbminutes, minutes, milliseconds) or consumed quantity (bytes, GBS). |
| Value | Numerical measurement of resource usage. |
| Error | Any errors associated with costs incurred during the specified period. |
| Cost | Cost of the resource for the specified period. |
| Currency | Currency in which the cost is calculated. |
| Attached\_to | Cloud product the resource is connected to — the ID of a virtual machine that a volume is attached to. |
| Port\_id | Unique identifier for a network virtual port of a VM, used to associate IP addresses and traffic with specific network connections. |

**Totals CSV report**

The following table describes the columns in the **Totals** CSV export.

| Column | Description |
| - | - |
| Type | Cloud resource type. |
| Feature | Billing identifier that combines resource type, configuration, region, and pricing model. Every resource has a feature value, including resources with a single configuration like IP addresses. |
| Region\_id | ID of the region where the resource was created. |
| Region\_name | Name of the geographical location of the data center where the resource was created. |
| Period\_from | Start date of the reporting period. Reflects the selected date range, not when the resource was created. |
| Period\_to | End date of the reporting period. Reflects the selected date range, not when the resource was stopped or deleted. |
| Units | Consumption measurement unit — either usage time (gbminutes, minutes, milliseconds) or consumed quantity (bytes, GBS). |
| Value | Numerical measurement of resource usage. |
| Error | Any errors associated with costs incurred during the specified period. |
| Cost | Cost of the resource for the specified period. |
| Currency | Currency in which the cost is calculated. |

## Reservation Cost Report

The Reservation Cost Report presents monthly usage and costs for prepaid and [reserved](/cloud/getting-started/resource-reservation/about-resource-reservation) resources, showing commit utilization and any overcommit charges. Data is grouped by resource type and feature.

The cost data can be filtered by:

* **Regions** — filter by the region where resources were created.
* **Types** — filter by resource type.
* Month — one calendar month.

The report includes statistics for all regions, including deleted ones.

Use the **Rounding** checkbox in the top-right corner to toggle cost rounding on or off.

Cost data is displayed as a chart and a table. In the chart view, the **Total €** tab displays the cumulative costs for the selected period.

More granular information is available on the following tabs:

* **Hours**
* **Gigabyte-hours**
* **Gigabyte-minutes**
* **Gigabyte-seconds**
* **Millions**

* **Feature name** — the billing identifier that combines resource type, configuration, region, and pricing model.
* **Region** — the region where the resource is located.
* **Usage** — the amount of resource consumed.
* **Cost** — the cost for the selected period.
