Wasabi offers hot cloud storage that is easy to bundle as a partner storage solution. Various Wasabi MSPs manage end-customer data across several Wasabi buckets within one Wasabi account. This article describes how to compute charges based on bucket utilization. Refer to Bucket Size: Reviewing for instructions to download bucket utilization data.
If you anticipate many end customers leveraging Wasabi storage for data management, the method described in this article might become difficult to manage and error-prone. Wasabi recommends implementing API automation to avoid such errors. Refer to Method 1 in Optimal Methods for MSP/CSP Partners to Manage Wasabi Accounts With WACM.
Sample Bucket Utilization CSV Export
In the following CSV file for a bucket named 1tbwasabi-test, note two key columns (highlighted in orange) used to compute charges:
BillableActiveStorage = 21704
BillableDeletedStorage = 1,097,563,402,033
Daily Rate Calculation
The standard Wasabi Pay-Go pricing is $7.99/TB/month, which equates to $0.00026 per GB per day (calculated as $7.99 ÷ 1024 GB/TB ÷ 30 days/month).
If you are on a different partner pricing plan, substitute your contracted per-GB-day rate in the formulas below.
Billable Active Storage Charge
Use the following formula to calculate the daily active storage charge.
Daily Active Charge = (((BillableActiveStorage / 1024) / 1024) / 1024) × $0.00026
For example, with BillableActiveStorage of 21,704 bytes:
(((21,704 / 1024) / 1024) / 1024) × $0.00026 = 0.00002021342516 GB × $0.00026 = $0.000000005255
Billable Deleted Storage Charge
To calculate the daily deleted storage charge, use:
Daily Deleted Charge = (((BillableDeletedStorage / 1024) / 1024) / 1024) × $0.00026
For example, with BillableDeletedStorage of 1,097,563,402,033 bytes:
(((1,097,563,402,033 / 1024) / 1024) / 1024) × $0.00026 = 1,022.185573 GB × $0.00026 = $0.265768
Daily Total Charge
The total charge for a given day is the sum of the active and deleted storage charges.
Day Total = Daily Active Storage Charge + Daily Deleted Storage Charge Example: $0.000000005255 + $0.265768 = $0.265768
Repeat this calculation for each day in the billing period, and aggregate the results to produce the monthly charge for the bucket.
Microsoft Excel Example
The following example shows how to implement these calculations in a spreadsheet. Two columns, “Daily active storage charges” and “Daily delete charges” (highlighted in green), were added. The Excel formula for the daily active storage charge column is:
=(((I2/1024)/1024)/1024)*0.00026
MinObjectSize Charges
Wasabi applies MinObjectSize charges to accounts with less than 1 TB of total data stored. These charges are not accounted for in the formulas above. Refer to Wasabi's pricing documentation or contact your Wasabi partner representative for details on how MinObjectSize charges apply to your account.
