# Cost reports
You can check information about Cloud resource usage and associated costs on the following pages:
* **Cost Report** : view costs for all Cloud resources you've used. This report calculates all costs using the Pay-As-You-Go pricing model. If you have active resource commitments, the prices shown in this report won't reflect your actual costs because commit discounts are not applied.
* **Reservation Cost Report** : check monthly resource usage and costs that account for your resource commitments. This report shows how much of your committed resources you've consumed, whether you've fully utilized your commits, and any overcommit costs incurred when usage exceeded the reserved amount.
You can also get reports via [API](https://api.gcore.com/docs/cloud#tag/Cost-Reports/operation/CostReportResourcesHandler.post).
Consider that statistics for the last hour might contain incomplete data. For accuracy, we recommend reviewing cost information that was collected more than an hour ago.
## Cost Report
**Info**
This report calculates all costs using Pay-As-You-Go rates and doesn't account for resource commitments. If you have active commits, the prices shown here won't reflect your actual costs. Check the [Reservation Cost Report](/cloud/getting-started/view-statistics-on-expenses#reservation-cost-report) for accurate cost data that includes commit discounts.
This report contains data about each Cloud resource you've used, which also allows you to forecast pay-as-you-go expenses more accurately.
You can filter the cost data by:
* **Project** : View costs for all your projects or just the selected ones.
* **Region** : Check costs for products created in all regions or just the selected ones.
* **Resource type** : View costs for the selected resource types.
* **Consumption period** : View costs for a week, two weeks, or a custom period. Consider that the maximum period you can select is one month.
The report also contains statistics for deleted projects and regions. To include resource costs from deleted projects, select the **Show deleted projects** checkbox.
You can also choose to add inactive projects and regions from the relevant dropdown menu:
Cost statistics is dispalyed in a graph and table format. In the graph view, the **Total** tab displays the cumulative costs associated with each Cloud resource.
You can also check more granular statistics on the following tabs:
* Total balance used
* Resource usage in hours
* In Gigabyte-minutes by resources
* In Gigabyte-seconds by resources
* Millions of pieces
* Gigabytes of used resources
* The total number of outbound GBs and hours of using different flavors
Under the graph, there is a table with more detailed information about resources consumed within a selected period. The table features the following resource properties:
* Resource name
* Resource type
* Region
* Project
* Tags
* Usage
* First seen date
* Last seen date
* Cost
You can refine resource-related information by filtering it according to resource type and attributes, and narrow down the table results via search.
**Info**
Currently, we only support full-text search.
To filter table data:
1\. In the **Type** field, choose the resource for which you want to check cost information. For example, **External IP**.
2\. In the following dropdown, select the relevant resource attribute. For example, to view cost report data for a particular IP address, choose **IP Address**.
3\. In the search field, enter the IP address for which you want to check the cost information.
The table data and graph above the table will be updated accordingly.
### Download Cost Report data
To export billing report for the selected period, click **Export CSV** in the top-right corner of the screen. You can download two types of files:
* **Detailed report** : a detailed breakdown of each resource you are using.
* **Totals** : the total cost of resources in each location.
The following table describes what information is included in the **Detailed** CSV report file.
| **Column** | **Description** |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Service | A name of the Cloud resource that you've used. |
| UUID | A universally unique identifier assigned to the resource. Some resources, like IP addresses, don't have a UUID as they're already unique. |
| Feature | Billing identifier of a billable resource that combines the resource type, configuration, region, and pricing model. Every resource has a feature value, even resources with a single configuration like IP addresses. |
| Tags | If you added any tags to the resource, they'll appear in this column. This column also presents system-generated tags. |
| Service\_name | Name of the service, which is also displayed in the **Name** field in the UI. For example, the name of a Virtual Machine. |
| Region\_id | ID of a region where the resource has been created. You can check the ID via [API](https://api.gcore.com/docs/cloud#tag/Regions). |
| Region\_name | Name of a geographical location of the data center where the resource has been created. |
| Project\_id | ID of a project where the resource has been created. Your project ID is displayed on the **Projects** page, in the [grid view](/cloud/getting-started/projects/create-a-project#view-projects-in-different-layouts). |
| Project\_name | Name of a project where the resource has been created. |
| First\_seen | The date when the resource was first detected in the billing system during the selected period. This helps identify when a resource started generating costs. |
| Last\_seen | The date when the resource was last detected in the billing system during the selected period. This helps identify when a resource stopped generating costs, though it doesn't necessarily indicate the resource was deleted. |
| Period\_from | The start date of the reporting period for which the resource usage is calculated. This reflects the selected date range, not when the resource was created. |
| Period\_to | The end date of the reporting period for which the resource usage is calculated. This reflects the selected date range, not when the resource was stopped or deleted. |
| Units | The consumption measurement unit. It can be represented as the usage time, such as gbminutes, minutes, milliseconds (MLS), or as the number of consumed resources, measured in bytes or GBS. |
| Value | The numerical measurement of resource usage. |
| Error | Any errors associated with the costs incurred during the specified period. |
| Cost | Cost of the resource for the specified period. |
| Currency | The type of currency in which the cost is calculated. |
| Attached\_to | A Cloud product to which the resource has been connected. For example, it can be an ID of a Virtual Machine that the volume has been attached to. |
| Port\_id | A unique identifier for a network virtual port of a VM. It's used to associate IP addresses and traffic with specific network connections. |
The following table explains what information is included in the **Totals** CSV report file.
| **Column** | **Description** |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

## Reservation Cost Report
This report presents monthly information about your prepaid and [reserved](/cloud/getting-started/resource-reservation/about-resource-reservation) resources. Unlike the Cost Report, this report accounts for your active resource commitments and shows:
* How much of your committed resources you've consumed
* Whether you've fully utilized your commits
* Any overcommit costs incurred when usage exceeded the reserved amount
The Reservation Cost Report doesn't show statistics for individual resources and only displays aggregated data for each month.
You can filter cost data by:
* **Region** : Check costs for products created in all regions or just the selected ones.
* **Resource type** : View costs for the selected resource types.
* **Consumption period** : View costs for a particular month.
The report also contains statistics for deleted projects and regions. To include costs from deleted projects, select the **Show deleted projects** checkbox. Alternatively, select inactive projects and regions from the relevant dropdown menu.
You can view cost data both as a chart or as a table, which contains more detailed information. In the chart view, the **Total** tab displays the cumulative costs associated with reserved Cloud resources.
Additionally, you can check more granular information on the following tabs:
* Total €
* Hours
* GB Minutes
* Gigabyte-seconds
* Millions
* Gigabytes
* Flavors, hours
* Commit usage
Under the chart, there is a table with a detailed report of resources consumed during the selected timeframe.
* Resource type
* Region
* Commit: the number of reserved resources (active commitments)
* Usage
* Commit cost: fixed monthly costs for resources according to your plan.
* Overcommit cost: costs for overuse of resources within your plan.
* Total cost
