Railway Cost Calculator
Enter average vCPU, memory, volume and egress, pick Hobby, Pro or Free. See usage line items and the bill: Hobby = max($5, usage), Pro = max($20, usage) — the plan fee includes the same amount of usage credit, it is not added on top. Optional Sandbox/VM rates.

Railway plans: Free Trial $0 ($5 one-time credit, 30 days); Free $0 ($1 credit/mo; caps 1 vCPU / 0.5 GB per service); Hobby $5 ($5 usage included); Pro $20 per workspace (unlimited seats, $20 usage included); Enterprise custom. Usage billed per second: memory $0.00000386/GB-s (≈ $10/GB-mo), CPU $0.00000772/vCPU-s (≈ $20/vCPU-mo), volumes $0.00000006/GB-s (≈ $0.15/GB-mo), egress $0.05/GB, object storage $0.015/GB-mo (free egress). Stopped services cost $0. Plan fee is a floor, not additive: usage ≤ $5 → $5; above → total usage (Hobby = max($5, usage); Pro modeled the same as max($20, usage)). Traps: per-second metering bills actual usage, not allocated size. Smoke: 1 vCPU + 1 GB + 5 GB vol + 20 GB egress = $31.75 usage → Hobby/Pro bill $31.75; 0.25 vCPU + 0.5 GB = $10.

How it works
- How much does Railway cost per month?
- Usage is metered per second: CPU $0.00000772/vCPU-s (≈ $20 per vCPU-month), memory $0.00000386/GB-s (≈ $10 per GB-month), volumes ≈ $0.15/GB-month, egress $0.05/GB. 1 vCPU + 1 GB always-on + 5 GB volume + 20 GB egress = $31.75 (as of 2026-11-03).
- Is the $5 Hobby fee added on top of usage?
- No. The Hobby fee includes $5 of usage: if usage ≤ $5 you pay $5; above that you pay total usage. Bill = max($5, usage). Pro is modeled the same way: $20 per workspace including $20 of usage credit → max($20, usage).
- Does Railway bill allocated or actual resources?
- Actual usage, per second. A service sized for 8 GB that averages 1 GB pays for ~1 GB; stopped services cost nothing. Enter average, not maximum, vCPU and memory.
- What are the Free plan limits?
- Free is $0 with $1 of usage credit per month and caps of 1 vCPU / 0.5 GB per service. A Free Trial gives a one-time $5 credit for 30 days. Pro seats are unlimited.
- What about Sandboxes, VMs and object storage?
- Sandbox/VM compute is pricier: ≈ $50 per GB-month memory and $50 per active vCPU-month, egress $0.05/GB (toggle above). Object Storage is $0.015/GB-month with free egress (not in the main inputs).
