This document explains Cloud Interconnect pricing details.
If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on Cloud Platform SKUs apply.Dedicated Interconnect
Google charges you on an hourly basis for both Interconnect connections and VLAN attachments.
Egress traffic from your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks through your Interconnect connections is discounted compared to general network pricing for Google Cloud. Egress pricing depends on the number of GB transferred and the region the traffic is coming from.
This discounted pricing applies only to traffic that originates in the region where the VLAN attachment is located. You can use VLAN attachments to access services located in a different region than the VLAN attachment. In this case, you are charged standard cross-region rates for traffic between the region where the VLAN attachment is located and the region where the service is located.
Cloud Interconnect egress charges accrue to the project that owns the VLAN attachment (VLAN). The project that owns the Interconnect connection is not billed for egress. Specifically, costs for egress traffic from a VLAN attachment in a Shared VPC service project, which travels through an Interconnect connection in a different host project, are attributed to the service project.

Partner Interconnect
Google charges you on an hourly basis for VLAN attachments, depending on their capacity. Your service provider might also charge you for services such as using their network, which isn't included in your GCP bills. Contact your service provider for information about their pricing.
Egress traffic from your VPC networks though your attachments is discounted compared to general network pricing for Google Cloud. Egress pricing depends on the number of GBs transferred and the region the traffic is coming from.
This discounted pricing applies only to traffic that originates in the region where the VLAN attachment is located. You can use VLAN attachments to access services located in a different region than the VLAN attachment. In this case, you are charged standard cross-region rates for traffic between the region where the VLAN attachment is located and the region where the service is located.

Pricing scenarios
This section describes how Google Cloud calculates pricing for Cloud Interconnect egress traffic using different pricing scenarios. That is, when a virtual machine (VM) instance or a non-VM Google Cloud product or service sends traffic to your on-premises location over a VLAN attachment located in the same or different geographical location:
- A VM in the same continent as a VLAN attachment, using regional VPC dynamic routing
- A VM in the same continent as a VLAN attachment, using global VPC dynamic routing
- A VM in a different continent than a VLAN attachment, using global VPC dynamic routing
- A VM in a different continent than a VLAN attachment, using VPC Network Peering
- A non-VM Google Cloud product or service in a different location than a VLAN attachment, using global VPC dynamic routing
For more information on costs for each scenario, including egress charges between regions within a continent and between continents, see General network pricing.
A VM in the same continent as an attachment, using regional VPC dynamic routing
In this scenario, there are two regions within North America,
us-west1 and us-east1. These regions use
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) regional dynamic
routing provided by Cloud Router.
Cloud Interconnect egress charges for North America
No region-to-region egress charges
You order an Interconnect connection running from your
on-premises location to San Jose (SJC) and create two VLAN
attachments over that connection. One VLAN attachment goes to region
us-east1, and the other VLAN attachment goes to region
us-west1.
If you send traffic from a VM in us-east1 or from a VM in
us-west1 to your on-premises location over your
Interconnect connection in SJC, you are charged the following rates:
- Cloud Interconnect egress charges for North America, since that is where the Cloud Interconnect is located
- But, you are not charged region-to-region egress charges
A VM in the same continent as a VLAN attachment, using global VPC dynamic routing
In this scenario, you have VMs in two regions located in North America,
us-west1 and us-east1. You have enabled global
dynamic routing for your VPC network using Cloud Router.
Global dynamic routing enables VLAN attachments in one region to be used
by one or more VMs located in another region.
Region-to-region egress charges from
us-east1 to
us-west1Cloud Interconnect egress charges for North America from
us-west1
to on-premisesYou order an Interconnect connection running from your
on-premises location to San Jose (SJC) and create one VLAN
attachment over that connection to us-west1. You then send traffic
from a VM in us-east1 to your on-premises location through the
VLAN attachment located in us-west1. You are then charged
the following rates:
- Region-to-region egress charges for forwarding traffic from
us-east1to the VLAN attachment inus-west1. The VLAN attachment inus-west1is considered the source of traffic. - Cloud Interconnect egress charges for North America
for traffic from region
us-west1to your on-premises location.
A VM in a different continent than a VLAN attachment, using global VPC dynamic routing
This scenario is the same as the preceding example, except that one region,
us-west1, is located in North America, and the other region,
asia-east1, is located in Asia. Sending traffic between regions on
different continents results in more expensive inter-region egress rates.
Intercontinental region-to-region egress charges for traffic forwarded from
asia-east1 to us-west1Cloud Interconnect egress charges for North America from
us-west1
to on-premisesThe only way to send traffic from asia-east1 over
Cloud Interconnect in North America, is by enabling VPC
global dynamic routing. This makes the VLAN attachment in
us-west1 available to VMs in all regions in your VPC
network. You are then charged the following rates:
- Intercontinental region-to-region egress charges for traffic forwarded
from
asia-east1tous-west1 - Cloud Interconnect egress charges for North America for traffic
from region
us-west1to your on-premises location
A VM in a different continent than a VLAN attachment, using VPC Network Peering
This scenario is similar to the preceding example, except that there are two VPC networks connected through VPC Network Peering. Sending traffic between regions results in the same rates as the preceding example that uses global dynamic routing.
Intercontinental region-to-region egress charges for traffic forwarded from
us-east4 to asia-northeast1Cloud Interconnect egress charges for Asia Pacific from
asia-northeast1
to on-premisesYou send traffic from us-east4 to your on-premises network over
Cloud Interconnect in Asia using VPC Network Peering.
You are then charged the following rates:
- Intercontinental region-to-region egress charges for traffic forwarded
from
us-east4toasia-northeast1 - Cloud Interconnect egress charges for Asia Pacific for traffic
from region
asia-northeast1to your on-premises location
A non-VM Google Cloud product or service in a different location than a VLAN attachment, using global VPC dynamic routing
In addition to the preceding scenarios, Cloud Interconnect egress charges apply to traffic sent from a Google Cloud product or service that is not a VM to your on-premises location over a VLAN attachment. You pay the product's egress charges to reach the region of the VLAN attachment, and then pay the Cloud Interconnect egress charges based on the continent where the Interconnect connection is located.
The following example describes charges for traffic egressing a
Cloud Storage bucket in a different region in North America
than the region where the VLAN attachment is located.
Cloud Storage egress charges for traffic forwarded from for forwarding traffic from a Cloud Storage bucket in
northamerica-northeast1 to us-west1Cloud Interconnect egress charges for North America from
us-west1
to on-premises.
In this scenario, you have resources in two regions located in North America,
us-west1 (Oregon) and northamerica-northeast1 (Montreal). You have enabled
global
dynamic routing for your VPC network using Cloud Router.
You order an Interconnect connection running from
your on-premises location to San Jose (SJC) and create one VLAN
attachment over that connection to us-west1. You then send traffic from a
Cloud Storage bucket in northamerica-northeast1 to your on-premises
location through the VLAN attachment located in us-west1. You are
charged the following rates:
- The Cloud Storage egress cost for forwarding traffic from a
Cloud Storage bucket in
northamerica-northeast1to a VLAN attachment inus-west1. If the regions were both inside theUSlocation, then there would be no egress charge. - Cloud Interconnect egress charges for
North Americafor traffic from regionus-west1to your on-premises location, since that is where Cloud Interconnect is located.
If the Cloud Storage bucket is located in a different continent than
the VLAN attachment, you pay Cloud Storage intercontinental
egress charges to reach the VLAN attachment in us-west1.
