Eligibility for the AWS Free Tier - AWS Billing

Eligibility for the AWS Free Tier

Your AWS usage stays within the AWS Free Tier limits when all of these conditions are met:

  • You’re within the active trial period for the AWS Free Tier offering. For example, within 12 months for a 12-month free type of service like Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2).

  • You use only AWS services that offer AWS Free Tier benefits.

  • Your usage stays within the AWS Free Tier limits of those services.

If you use AWS services beyond one or more of these conditions, then you're charged at the standard AWS billing rates for usage that exceeds the Free Tier limits.

To learn more about the AWS Free Tier limits, see AWS Free Tier.

Note

For AWS Organizations, the AWS Free Tier eligibility for all member accounts begins on the day that the management account is created. For more information, see the AWS Organizations User Guide.
