Billing Overview
A Control Account can have one of two associated billing plans:
Standard Pay as You Go (Pay-G0) — A Pay-Go account pays for storage as it is consumed.
Reserved Capacity Storage (RCS) — An RCS account has a fixed storage value based on its contract before overages are charged.
To gather the most accurate billing information, filter the relevant data from the relevant tabs (as described below). Export this data and utilize the sub-account-by-sub-account detailed usage data.
Displaying Pay-Go Invoices
A Pay-Go account invoice is displayed on the Invoices page where you will find pre-calculated usage based on Wasabi’s list price. The pre-calculated total includes several components, which are also conveniently calculated on the same row for each sub-account.
The WACM navigation bar at the top of the dashboard displays those features available for your specific account type and role.
Click the Invoices tab.
Optionally, filter the list to more precisely search data by the sub-account name or Control Invoice number. Select one of these options (Name, Channel Account, or Control Invoice #) from the Filter By drop-down. Then, select one or a combination of name(s) or control invoice number(s).
Filtering for the Name of the sub-account will return all sub-invoices associated with that sub-account. Filtering for the Control Invoice # will return all sub-invoices associated with a single control invoice.
A Control Invoice is essentially a master invoice, which is the number of the rolled-up invoice.
This example lists invoices that include the text "sub-account".
Optionally, you can filter invoices by date. Click the Date Range Picker and select a time range from the drop-down. Note that the selection is based on the End Date/End Time.
Hover your cursor over an invoice on the Invoices list. A scroll bar enables you to move right/left to display all columns of information.

Monthly Pay-Go Sub-Account Cost Formula
The monthly Pay-Go sub-account cost formula is:
(Active Storage Total Cost) + (Deleted Storage Total Cost) + (Minimum Active Storage Total Cost)
This calculation is shown in the Total column.
You cannot see your complete Pay-Go invoice from the WACM platform. To access your Pay-Go invoice for the Control Account, sign in to the Control Account on the Wasabi Management Console.
Displaying Reserve Capacity Storage (RCS) Usage
Control Account RCS customers can track sub-account storage usage by navigating to the Sub-Accounts tab and then to the individual sub-account.
Click the Sub-Accounts tab.
On the Sub-Accounts page, click on the sub-account for which to calculate storage usage. The Usage page is displayed.
Click the Date Range Selector to select a relevant date range. Note that the selection is based on the End Date/End Time.
View the daily records and find the date with which you bill your customers for the month. For example, if you bill your customers at the beginning of the month for the previous month, select the last record of the previous month: The October 31st record for a November 1st invoice date will provide you with the most recent storage stats prior to invoicing.
Simply add the Active Storage and Deleted Storage columns for the billing day of choice.
Monthly RCS Sub-Account Usage Formula
For RCS accounts, calculating storage is as simple as adding Active Storage and Deleted Storage for a given day. Note that a “given day” is the customer's choice of monthly billing date. For example, if a customer wants to be invoiced on the last day of each month, the usage calculation should reflect only the total storage on that specific day.
The monthly RCS Sub-Account usage formula is:
(Active Storage) + (Deleted Storage)
