Quickstart: Generate a rapid cost estimate
Learn how to estimate the costs of running your infrastructure on Google Cloud with Migration Center.
In this example you will estimate the cost of migrating an on-premises environment that has the following specifications:
- Contains x86 vCPUs only
- Includes SAP and Oracle vCPUs
- Includes both Linux and Windows vCPUs
- Has a migration timeline of 5 years
To follow step-by-step guidance for this task directly in the Google Cloud console, click Guide me:

Review and export estimation results
This page displays the following graphs:
Your 5-year cloud spend estimate range.
For this example, the range is $55.8M - $68.2M.
Estimated pricing for your selected environment.
In this example, to view the breakdown of the annual cost for migrating your on-premises infrastructure to Google Cloud and the breakdown of the annual cost for each product, click View details in the On-premise results card.
To view the breakdown of the annual cost for each product, click the product name. For example, to view the annual cost breakdown for Compute Engine, click
Compute . The annual list price and percentage of the total estimate is displayed for each Compute Engine component.Further, to see the details of how this cost is calculated for any Google Cloud component, click the component name. For example, click
Compute for Hot cores (N2) . The details about how the sizing and price is calculated is displayed. These calculations are based on your inputs and the default assumptions that you can edit if needed.
To export the estimation results in a PDF, on the top of the results page, click Export > Export on-premise estimate to PDF.
