Snowflake - Credits

Snowflake Credits : Its a unit of measure on snowflake and its used to pay for the consumption of
resources in Snowflake .

Let’s say you have spent 100 Credits in the month of January , it means the amount that you or your
company would have to pay is : (100 * Cost per Credit) in dollar .

Cost Per Credit - : https://www.snowflake.com/pricing/


Snowflake - Billing Components

● Storage Costs : On-demand (~$40 per TB/month storage) and pre-purchased storage (~$23 per TB

storage/month)

● Compute Costs : Virtual Warehouses (XS to 5XL Large) , per-minute pricing

● Cloud Services Cost : Authentication , infrastructure management, metadata management , query

optimization & access control

● Serverless Features Cost : Snowpipe,Database replication,Materialized View maintenance ,

automatic clustering
Snowflake - Warehouse/Compute Cost

● Cluster Configuration => Medium Sized Warehouse : 4 Credits/hour => 4 Credits / 60 minutes

○ Single Cluster Warehouse

■ 1 minute = 0.066 Credits

■ 30 minutes = 30 * 0.066 = 1.98 Credits

■ Dollar Amount => 1.98 * $3.9 = $7.72

○ Multi Cluster Warehouse (min=1,max=2)

■ 1 minute = 0.066*2 = 0.132 Credits

■ 30 minutes = 30 *0.132= 3.96 Credits

■ Dollar Amount => 3.96 * $3.9 = $15.44
