About AzureCalc.uk

I built AzureCalc.uk because I kept hitting the same wall: the official Azure Pricing Calculator is fine for simple scenarios, but the moment you're trying to model something like a Log Analytics workspace with Sentinel enabled and mixed retention policies, it becomes genuinely painful. You can't see the actual GBP rates without navigating across multiple pages, and the commitment tier maths is left as an exercise for the reader. I wanted a tool that did that work upfront, showed the formula, and used real prices.

Where the prices come from

Every price on this site is fetched nightly from the Microsoft Azure Retail Prices API — the same public API that powers the official Azure pricing pages. I filter touksouth andGBP so you see native pound prices, not converted USD. The cache refreshes at 02:00 UTC; a timestamp is shown on every calculator. Full methodology →

Who built it

I'm a solo developer who works with Azure regularly on UK production workloads. The calculation formulas are derived from official Microsoft documentation and verified against real invoice line items. I also built an AI cost assistant that understands natural-language cost questions and can query the calculators directly. AzureCalc.uk is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft Corporation.
