How the hourly price is calculated: monthly cap, items and examples

1. The basic formula

• Hourly price = monthly price ÷ 672. (672 = 28 days × 24 hours.)
• Every hour that starts is charged up front: at the start of the hour that amount is taken from your balance.
• Prices are based on euros and exclude VAT. At the time of the charge they are converted to TRY at that day's rate. The euro price is fixed; the TRY amount moves with the rate.
• Hours follow Istanbul time (Europe/Istanbul).

2. The monthly cap

In one calendar month the total you pay for an item never exceeds its monthly price. After the item has been charged for 672 hours, the rest of the month is free; the counter resets at the start of the next month. So running a server all month costs the same as the monthly price, while running it briefly costs only the hours you used.

3. Step by step: calculate the cost of a service

1. Find the monthly price of the service (tables in section 4, or the product page).
2. Divide it by 672: that is the hourly price.
3. Add the hourly prices of extra items (extra disk, extra IP, extra snapshot, network firewall) the same way.
4. Multiply by the hours you will run; the cap applies to anything beyond 672 hours in a month.

The panel and the command line do this for you:

gyro billing estimate --plan standart-2-4 --count 2

The output shows the hourly, daily and monthly (capped) cost and how many hours your balance lasts. To see your balance:

4. Price tables (excluding VAT, € — TRY at the current rate)

Gyro Cloud Istanbul (priced the same as Turkey VDS):

Gyro Containers: an environment fee of 4.99 €/month plus the monthly price of the node plan for each node (the node price equals the server plans above).

Image registry: 2 GB free per environment; above that 0.05 €/GB per month (calculated hourly). Example: a 3.4 GB registry = (3.4 − 2) × 0.05 = 0.07 €/month.

A worked example

Assumption (example only): 1 € = 56 TRY. A standart-2-4 server ran 100 hours in the month and was then deleted.

• Hourly: 5.99 ÷ 672 = 0.00891 € ≈ 0.50 TRY
• 100 hours: 0.891 € ≈ 49.9 TRY (excluding VAT, deducted from the balance)

If the same server had run all month: 672 hours × 0.00891 = 5.99 € ≈ 335 TRY; everything after the 672nd hour would be free.
