Cloudflare Bandwidth Alliance Savings Estimator

Estimate how much the Cloudflare Bandwidth Alliance trims from your egress bill. Provide monthly GB sent through alliance partners, your normal egress rate, and the partner discount. Optional fields capture per-GB surcharges and traffic that still pays full freight so you can report both direct and blended savings.

Data egress routed through Bandwidth Alliance partners each month.
List or blended egress rate you would pay without the alliance.
Percentage reduction your storage provider offers for alliance traffic.
Enter any per-GB surcharge the partner adds back (defaults to $0).
Traffic that still pays full egress rates so you can see blended savings.

Outputs assume the alliance discount applies uniformly across the provided GB volume. Confirm pricing with your storage partner and Cloudflare representative before booking savings in forecasts.

FAQ

How do I account for regional pricing tiers?

Run the calculator separately for each region or tier, then sum the savings to match how providers break out egress on invoices.

Does this include Cloudflare transfer fees?

Yes—the standard egress rate should include any per-GB charges Cloudflare would bill without the alliance. Use your CDN or R2 rate card for accuracy.

What about data transferred between non-alliance providers?

Enter that volume in the optional non-alliance field so the blended results show how much spend remains at full price.

Can I model bursty traffic?

Use an average monthly GB estimate for the period you are budgeting. For peak analysis, rerun the calculation with the higher volume to stress-test savings.

Additional Information

  • Discount percentage is negotiated per storage partner—use the actual reduction published in your contract or console.
  • Partner surcharges capture flat per-GB fees some providers tack on even after the alliance discount.
  • Blended savings help FinOps teams explain why shifting additional workloads into alliance regions further lowers egress spend.
  • Effective rates are rounded to four decimal places to make comparisons across providers easier.
