> Understand how Firebolt bills for compute and storage through the AWS Marketplace and your AWS account.
# Billing
Firebolt bills are based on the consumption of resources within each account in your organization. This includes the total amount of data stored and engine usage.
* **Data storage** usage is calculated on the daily average amount of data (in bytes) stored under your Firebolt account name for indexes and raw compressed data.
* **Engine resources** usage is calculated with **one-second granularity** between the time Firebolt makes the engine available for queries and when the the engine moves to the stopped state.
## Set-up account billing through AWS Marketplace
To continue using Firebolt’s engines for query execution after your initial \$200 credit, valid for 30 days, you’ll need to set-up a billing account by connecting your account to the [AWS Marketplace](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace).
**Steps for registration:**
1. On the [Firebolt Workspace page](https://go.firebolt.io/), select the **Configure**(
) icon from the left navigation pane.
2. Under **Organization settings**, select **Billing**.
3. Click **Connect to AWS Marketplace** to take you to the Firebolt page on AWS Marketplace.
4. On the AWS Marketplace page, click the **View Purchase Options** in the top right hand corner of the screen.
5. Click **Setup Your Account**.
Your account should now be associated with AWS Marketplace.
## Invoices
Invoices for Firebolt engines and data are submitted through the AWS Marketplace. The final monthly invoice is available on the third day of each month through the AWS Marketplace. A billing cycle starts on the first day of the month and finishes on the last day of the same month.
## Viewing billing information
Users with the **Org Admin** role can monitor the cost history of each account in the organization.
**To view cost information for your organization**
Organization cost details are captured in two information\_schema tables. Query those two tables and retrieve any information about the organization's cost

2. [Storage billing](/reference-sql/information-schema/storage-billing)
## Understanding Storage Billing
### GiB/Month
Firebolt uses **consumed\_gib\_per\_month (GiB/Month)** metric. It is a time-based measurement, which represents the average amount of data stored over time. This is similar to how electricity billing uses kilowatt-hours - you're charged not just for the amount of storage, but for how long you use it. This is calculated by:
1. Taking total GiB/hour of storage
2. Aggregating over the course of a month
3. Dividing by the number of hours in that month
Example:
* If you store 500GiB for 15 days, then 1000GiB for the remaining 15 days in 30-day month
* Your monthly average would be 750GiB
* You'd be billed for 750 GiB/Month
### GiB vs GB
GiB (Gibibyte) and GB (Gigabyte) represent different measurement systems for storage:
* GB (Gigabyte): Uses decimal (base-10) system
* GiB (Gibibyte): Uses binary (base-2) system
| Unit | Base | Calculation | Exact Value |
| :------ | :----------- | :------------------- | :------------------ |
| **GB** | Decimal (10) | 1 GB = 1,000³ bytes | 1,000,000,000 bytes |
| **GiB** | Binary (2) | 1 GiB = 1,024³ bytes | 1,073,741,824 bytes |
