Why HAQM RDS?
HAQM Relational Database Service (HAQM RDS) is a managed, highly available, and secure database service that makes it simple to set up, operate, and scale relational database management systems (RDBMS) in the cloud. HAQM RDS is free to try and you pay only for what you use with no minimum fees. You can pay for HAQM RDS using On-Demand or Reserved Instances. Estimate your monthly bill using the AWS Pricing Calculator.
HAQM RDS provides a selection of instance types optimized to fit different online transactional processing (OLTP) use cases. Select one of the HAQM RDS database (DB) engines below to view pricing. See Previous Generation Instances for previous instance pricing not listed here.

Increase database ROI
As data volume continues to grow, relational databases can grow with you without breaking your budget. HAQM RDS On-Demand Instances allow you to pay per second. Pay even less with Reserved Instances on a 1-year or 3-year term. You can easily start and stop your database instances to simply and affordably develop and test your applications. Avoid costly downtime using features like automated backups, database snapshots, and automatic failover.
Free tier
As part of the AWS Free Tier, new AWS customers can get started with HAQM RDS for free. HAQM RDS Free Tier includes the following each month for one year:
- HAQM RDS usage per month: 750 hours on select Single-AZ Instance databases. Usage is aggregated across instance types if using more than one instance. (Available engines: MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server – SQL Server Express Edition only.)
- General Purpose SSD (gp2) storage per month: 20 GB

Pricing by HAQM RDS deployments
Customers have a number of deployment options for HAQM RDS including on-premises environments using HAQM RDS on Outposts, using HAQM RDS Custom for privileged access to underlying database for applications like Oracle E-Business Suite, or running HAQM RDS Proxy to make applications more scalable, resilient, and secure.
HAQM RDS Extended Support costs
HAQM RDS Extended Support allows you to continue use MySQL and PostgreSQL major versions after the community end-of-life. During this time, AWS provides fixes for critical security issues and bugs through patch releases, giving you more time, up to three years, to upgrade to a new major version to help you meet your business requirements.
For provisioned instances on HAQM Aurora, RDS for MySQL, and RDS for PostgreSQL, RDS Extended Support is priced per vCPU per hour. For Aurora Serverless v2, RDS Extended Support is priced per Aurora Capacity Unit (ACU) per hour consumed by your database. RDS Extended Support pricing is also dependent on the calendar date.
To learn more about RDS Extended Support costs, see the Aurora, RDS for MySQL, and/or RDS for PostgreSQL pricing pages.

Data transferred between HAQM RDS and HAQM EC2 instances in the same Availability Zone
Free.
Data transferred between Availability Zones for replication of Multi-AZ deployments
Free.
HAQM RDS DB instances inside VPC
When data transfers between an HAQM EC2 instance and an HAQM RDS database instance in different Availability Zones of the same Region, data transfer charges will apply. These data transfer charges follow the standard EC2 regional data transfer charges ($0.01 per GB in/out) for data transferred in and out of the HAQM EC2 instance. There is no additional charge for data transferred in and out of the HAQM RDS database instance.
DB snapshot copies across Regions
DB snapshot copy is charged for the data transferred to copy the snapshot data across Regions. When the snapshot is copied, standard HAQM RDS database snapshot charges will apply to store it in the destination Region.
Cross-Region automated backups
Cross-Region automated backups are charged for the data transferred to copy the HAQM RDS DB snapshot and DB transaction logs across Regions. When the snapshot is copied, standard database snapshot charges will apply to store it in the destination Region. There is no additional charge for storage of the DB transaction logs.
HAQM RDS Free Tier
As part of AWS Free Tier, AWS customers receive 100 GB of free data transfer out to the internet free each month, aggregated across all AWS Services and Regions (except China and GovCloud).
Data transfer across other AWS services
Rate tiers take into account your aggregate data transfer out usage across EC2, HAQM EBS, HAQM S3, HAQM Glacier, HAQM RDS, HAQM SimpleDB, HAQM SQS, HAQM SNS, AWS Storage Gateway, HAQM DynamoDB, and HAQM VPC.
Public IPv4 costs
You will incur standard public IPv4 address charges associated with a resource launched in an HAQM VPC. Please read public IPv4 address pricing information for additional details.
