Formula: plan base + max(0, emails − included) × overage per 1k + validations + dedicated IPs. Free $0: 100 emails/day (≈3,000/mo hard; no overage — upgrade if over). Basic $15 incl 10k, overage from $1.80/1k, validations from $1.20/100. Foundation $35 (list after 1-mo free trial) incl 50k, overage from $1.30/1k, validations from $1.20/100. Scale $90 (list after trial) incl 100k, overage from $1.10/1k, validations from $0.80/100 with 5,000 validations included. Dedicated IP $59/IP/mo; FAQ: one IP included on Foundation 100k / Growth / Scale paths — this calculator only auto-includes 1 IP on Scale among the modeled tiers. Optimize / Enterprise custom (not computed). “Auto” picks the cheapest of Basic / Foundation / Scale for the email volume. Examples: Free 2k → $0; Basic 10k → $15; Basic 30k → $15 + 20 × $1.80 = $51; Foundation 50k → $35; Scale 100k → $90; Scale 150k → $90 + 50 × $1.10 = $145.

How it works
- How is Mailgun priced in 2026?
- Free is $0 for 100 emails/day (≈3k/mo, no overage). Basic $15 includes 10k with overage from $1.80/1k. Foundation $35 includes 50k with overage from $1.30/1k. Scale $90 includes 100k with overage from $1.10/1k. Foundation and Scale list prices are after a 1-month free trial (as of 2026-11-04).
- How are email validations billed?
- Basic and Foundation start at $1.20 per 100 validations. Scale starts at $0.80 per 100 and includes 5,000 validations. Optimize / Enterprise validation packs are not modeled.
- What do dedicated IPs cost on Mailgun?
- $59 per IP per month. Mailgun's FAQ says one dedicated IP is included with Foundation 100k, Growth and Scale plans. This calculator only auto-includes 1 IP on the modeled Scale tier; other inclusion paths are footnoted, not invented.
- What does Auto plan selection do?
- It prices Basic, Foundation and Scale (base + email overage) and picks the cheapest. Free is never auto-selected because it has a hard daily/monthly cap with no overage path.
- What happens if I exceed Free?
- Free has no overage: above ~3,000 emails/month or 100/day you must upgrade. The calculator flags both limits.
