Every compute comes with a monthly allowance of outbound internet traffic. The allowances of all the computes in a team are added together into one pool, and you only pay for traffic above that pool.

## Allowance per Specification

Each specification includes a monthly allowance:

| vCPU | RAM | Monthly allowance |
|------|-----|-------------------|
| 1 | 512 MB | 115 GB |
| 1 | 1 GB | 235 GB |
| 1 | 2 GB | 470 GB |
| 2 | 4 GB | 900 GB |
| 4 | 8 GB | 1,800 GB |
| 8 | 16 GB | 3,600 GB |
| 16 | 32 GB | 7,200 GB |

The allowance for each specification is also shown in the **Bandwidth** column when you create a compute. 1 GB is 1,000,000,000 bytes.
Each specification includes a monthly allowance, and bigger specifications include more. You can see the allowance for each specification in the **Bandwidth** column when you create a compute. 1 GB is 1,000,000,000 bytes.

## How the Team Allowance Works

**The allowance is pooled per team.** Every compute adds its allowance to one team-wide amount, and your bill depends on the team's total traffic against that amount. One busy compute can use the allowance of quieter ones.

**Part of a month counts for part of the allowance.** A compute adds its allowance for the share of the month it exists. For example, a 1 vCPU / 2 GB compute created halfway through a 30-day month adds about 235 GB, not 470 GB. A compute you destroy keeps the share it built up until it was destroyed.
**Part of a month counts for part of the allowance.** A compute adds its allowance for the share of the month it exists. For example, a compute created halfway through a 30-day month adds about half of its monthly allowance. A compute you destroy keeps the share it built up until it was destroyed.

**Stopped computes still count.** A stopped compute is still billed, so it keeps adding to the allowance.

## Price

Traffic above your team's allowance costs **38 RWF per GB**.
Traffic above your team's allowance is charged per GB. You can see the current price per GB in the **Bandwidth** tab of your team's billing overview.

## Bandwidth

Each compute includes a monthly allowance of outbound internet traffic, and the allowances of all the computes in a team are pooled. Inbound traffic and traffic between your computes are free. You only pay for outbound traffic above the team's allowance. See [Bandwidth](/services/compute/bandwidth) for the allowance per specification and how charges work.
