# Load Balancer Pricing

> How Load Balancers are billed, including the monthly fee, included requests, and overage rates.

Each Load Balancer is billed a flat monthly fee that includes a generous request allowance, with a per-million rate for requests beyond it.

| Item | Price |
| - | - |
| Monthly fee, per Load Balancer | \$9.50 |
| Included requests, per Load Balancer per month | 50 million |
| Additional requests | \$0.65 per million |

## What counts as a request

Only requests that actually reach the Load Balancer are counted: cache misses and other requests that require an origin. Requests served from the CDN cache are not counted, so a well-cached zone typically sends only a small fraction of its total traffic through the Load Balancer.

## How billing works

* **Billing is per Load Balancer.** Attaching one Load Balancer to five Pull Zones incurs a single monthly fee, and requests from all attached zones share the same 50 million request allowance.
* **The monthly fee is prorated.** You only pay for the time a Load Balancer exists: creating one mid-month charges the remainder of the month, and deleting one stops the charge immediately.
* **The request allowance resets monthly.** Usage counts from the first of each calendar month (UTC), and every month starts with a fresh 50 million included requests. The allowance is per calendar month and unused requests do not roll over.
* **Overage is exact.** Additional requests are billed at \$0.65 per million, prorated to the actual request count rather than rounded up to whole millions.

For example, a Load Balancer that handles 62 million origin requests in a full month costs \$9.50 plus 12 million additional requests at \$0.65 per million, or \$17.30 in total.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The monthly fee applies from the moment a Load Balancer is created, even before it is attached to a Pull Zone. Delete Load Balancers you no longer use.

## Tracking usage

Month-to-date request usage against the included allowance is available per Load Balancer in the dashboard and through the usage API, including the exact time the allowance resets. See [Statistics](https://bunny.net/docs/cdn/load-balancer/statistics.md) for the full monitoring options.
