EgressZero FinOps Egress Equations & Rate-Card Methodology (2026-11-12)
Every dollar figure modeled on EgressZero is derived deterministically from published on-demand vendor pricing schedules retrieved 2026-11-12 and capacity-matched hardware specifications—never mismatched teaser tiers with insufficient disk or transfer.
We publish our exact JavaScript TCO equations below so any FinOps analyst can reproduce or audit every EgressZero calculation.
EGRESSZERO TWO-CONSTRAINT SIZING RULEOur EgressZero methodology enforces a strict two-constraint rule: a candidate server is eligible only when both its usable storage terabytes and monthly outbound transfer quota cover 100% of the modeled workload.
EgressZero Deterministic Monthly TCO Formula
// EgressZero Deterministic Monthly TCO Equation (Baseline: 2026-11-12)
Billable_Egress_TB = max(0, Modeled_Outbound_TB - Vendor_Free_Egress_TB)
Cloud_Monthly_USD = (Stored_TB * Storage_Rate_TB)
+ (Billable_Egress_TB * Egress_Rate_TB)
+ Base_Platform_USD
+ (API_Base_USD * Workload_API_Multiplier * (1 + Modeled_Outbound_TB / 25))
Annual_Net_Saved = max(0, Cloud_Monthly_USD - Matched_Fixed_Pipe_Monthly_USD) * 12How EgressZero Models Published Cloud Storage & Outbound Tariffs
As retrieved 2026-11-12 from official pricing documentation, EgressZero models AWS S3 Standard at $23.55/TB ($0.023/GB) with blended internet/CloudFront egress at $87.00/TB above the 100 GB free allowance, plus workload-weighted PUT/GET API overhead. Vercel/Netlify models Pro base ($20/mo) + $150.00/TB Fast Data Transfer beyond 1 TB. Google Cloud models $20.48/TB storage + $122.00/TB blended Tier-1/APAC internet egress.
02 // CAPACITY-MATCHED FIXED PIPESStrict Disk Terabyte & Bandwidth Pool Matching Inside EgressZero
Our EgressZero engine never compares a 20 TB AWS S3 bucket against a 50 GB entry VPS. Every candidate configuration must satisfy both raw terabyte disk capacity (e.g., InterServer $6.00/TB ZFS Slices up to 20 TB+ Dedicated) and monthly outbound bandwidth quota (e.g., Hostinger KVM 4 TB–32 TB pools and UltaHost Unmetered 1Gbps–10Gbps VDS/Bare-Metal pipes).
03 // TELEMETRY TRANSPARENCY & AFFILIATE FIREWALLHonest Scope Boundaries & Partner Routing on EgressZero
Outbound `/go/<provider>` links use server-side HTTP 302 redirects (`Cache-Control: no-store`, `X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow`, `rel="sponsored nofollow noopener"`). Referral commissions paid to EgressZero Editorial Desk never alter capacity filtering or TCO sorting, and physical hardware benchmarks not yet captured in-house are explicitly marked `direct host-level telemetry verification on your target instance` rather than fabricated.
