How much does a CPU-heavy monthly report cost?

Scenario · workers

Reviewed 2026-10-25 · against the official Cloudflare pricing pages listed under Sources

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

Four Sunday jobs spend 2 minutes of CPU each. That is 480,000 ms, nowhere near the 30 million included. The $5 minimum is the whole bill.

On the Paid plan this model comes to $5.00. The other plan, with the same inputs, comes to $0.00. The 30-day month is the same length R2 uses in its storage example. Daily free caps are not monthly pools.

CPU is active time, not wall time

Waiting on the network, KV, or D1 does not count as CPU. Paid usage includes 30 million CPU milliseconds and then charges $0.02 per million, prorated. The Free plan allows 10 ms per invocation and fails with error 1102 past that. It is not a monthly pool.

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.

$5.00 · Paid

Workers Paid minimum
$5.00

The $5 is an account minimum for Workers Paid, not a per-product fee. Included usage sits inside it.

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.
  • Everything you entered fits inside the included allowances, so you pay only the minimum.
  • R2 egress (bandwidth out) is free, so downloads only cost Class B reads.
