Try this scenarioLoads these inputs into the calculator so you can change them.

Same 500 GB and 50 million reads as the image preset, plus the $5 minimum. R2's free tier still applies. You do not pay the storage and Class B rates twice.

On the Paid plan this model comes to $26.75. The other plan, with the same inputs, comes to $21.75. The 30-day month is the same length R2 uses in its storage example. Daily free caps are not monthly pools.

R2 does not charge egress

Bandwidth out to the internet is free on Standard and Infrequent Access. The bill is storage, Class A, Class B, and Infrequent Access retrieval. The free tier is monthly and applies to Standard only, on both the Free and Paid Workers plans.

Read this before you trust the total

Free plan lines at $0 can still be an outage: error 1027, error 1102, or a D1 quota error. R2 above its monthly free tier is billed on both plans. Durable Object requests round up to the next million, as in Cloudflare's own Example 1, which bills 500,000 requests as 1 million.

Assumptions

  • A 30-day month and steady traffic across it.
  • Rates as published on 2026-10-25; taxes excluded.
  • The Workers Paid plan has a $5 monthly minimum. It is charged even if you use nothing, and it covers the included allowances.
  • R2 Class B operations adds $14.40 (54% of the bill): you used more than the 10,000,000 included.
  • R2 storage adds $7.35 (27% of the bill): you used more than the 10 included.
  • R2 egress (bandwidth out) is free, so downloads only cost Class B reads.
