AWS pricing calculator in BDT
This calculator prices a simple AWS workload at OnDemand list in Mumbai or Singapore, then shows the same total in taka at an indicative market rate. The TiCON range applies published reseller and FinOps percentages. It is not a quote, and it does not use TiCON's unpublished invoice FX rule.

Search 'AWS pricing in BDT' and you will find screenshots with a taka total. Some of those numbers are list prices times a market rate. Some are guesses. This is how to tell them apart, and how to use the calculator on this page.
AWS publishes OnDemand list prices in dollars, by Region. For Bangladeshi production we price Mumbai and Singapore, because those are the Regions we actually run. There is no AWS Region inside Bangladesh, so a taka invoice does not mean the data sits in Dhaka.
The calculator on this page pulls those public list rates from the AWS Price List. Instance hours use AWS's seven-hundred-and-thirty-hour month. Storage is per gigabyte-month. CloudFront uses the India-edge outbound rate Bangladeshi viewers typically hit first. The file on this site records when those rates were fetched. If that date is older than forty-five days, treat the numbers as stale.
The taka column is the dollar total times a public USD to BDT mid-market rate. The source and the timestamp sit on the result. It is labelled indicative on purpose. TiCON's invoice quoting rule is not published, so this screen will not claim the on-screen taka is what you will be billed.
The 'with TiCON' band applies percentages already on this site: fifteen to thirty-five percent below list on compute and storage, and up to forty percent on CloudFront. Both ends are estimates. An estate already on Savings Plans will move less. An estate full of idle on-demand boxes will move more. A quote still needs the actual invoice.
What actually drives a Bangladesh bill is not the instance type you picked first. It is hours, then bytes. A box that runs all month is seven hundred and thirty hours. A non-production box off at night is a fraction of that. After hours, CloudFront and regional data transfer are where growing products surprise finance. NAT Gateway is the quiet line — hourly plus per gigabyte, often forgotten.
For OTT, the CDN line overtakes origin compute once a title is popular. That is why CloudFront is a separate lever, and why the published 'up to forty percent' is a bandwidth number, not a compute number.
This calculator does not add VAT or AIT. Those are NBR lines on a real local invoice. It does not checkout. Paying AWS in taka is a reseller-billing conversation, not a button on this screen.
Change a field and copy the permalink. Send that, or last month's bill, if you want a number you can take to finance. Talk to an architect when you are ready for an invoice in taka. The tool is at ticoncloud.com/tools/aws-pricing-calculator-bdt.

How to read the numbers
Every line is an OnDemand list price from the AWS Price List Bulk API for the region you picked. Instance hours use AWS's 730-hour month. Storage is per GB-month. CloudFront uses the India-edge outbound rate Bangladesh viewers typically hit first. Regional data transfer out uses the first 10 TB/month rate beyond the global free tier. Those are AWS's public rates, not a TiCON invoice.
The taka column multiplies the dollar total by a public USD/BDT mid-market rate, with the source and timestamp on the result. It is labelled indicative because TiCON's invoice quoting rule is not published. The 'with TiCON' band applies percentages already on this site: 15–35% below list on compute and storage, and up to 40% on CloudFront. Both ends are estimates. A quote still needs the actual invoice.
What actually drives a Bangladesh AWS bill
The first fork is region. Mumbai (ap-south-1) is the usual default: lower instance rates than Singapore on the types this tool lists, and shorter latency from Dhaka. Singapore (ap-southeast-1) is here when a workload already lives there. AWS has no Region inside Bangladesh, so a taka invoice does not mean the data sits in Dhaka.
The next driver is hours. A box that runs all month costs 730 hours; a non-production box off at night is a fraction of that. After hours, the bill is bytes: CloudFront and regional data transfer are where growing products surprise finance. NAT Gateway is the quiet line — hourly plus per-GB, often forgotten. The four presets show those shapes. They are not your production. Change a field and the permalink becomes the scenario you can send.
Why CloudFront dominates OTT bills
Video is bytes to a person. Once a title is popular the CDN line overtakes origin compute. That is why the OTT preset puts thousands of gigabytes on CloudFront and keeps instance count small, and why the TiCON range treats CloudFront separately: the published 'up to 40%' is a bandwidth lever.
A Bangladesh OTT typically serves viewers from the India CloudFront edge. This tool uses that edge's first-10-TB outbound rate. Origin data transfer out — Region to internet, skipping CloudFront — is a different, usually more expensive, line. Leave it at zero if the objects are already on CloudFront.
Savings Plans, in brief
This calculator prices OnDemand because that is the public rate card and it needs no commitment. Compute Savings Plans and EC2 Instance Savings Plans discount steady-state compute if you commit to a dollar-per-hour amount for one or three years. They do not discount CloudFront, S3 requests, or NAT the same way. The TiCON range already folds reseller pricing and FinOps into the published 15–35% band. If you already buy Savings Plans, say so on the bill analysis so they are not counted twice.
Taka on screen is not taka on the invoice
Finance teams care about the local invoice, not the console's dollar total. Paying through a reseller is how that invoice happens: one document in taka, VAT and AIT as NBR requires, no dollar card. This calculator will not quote those tax lines. Use it to compare list USD, indicative BDT, and the labelled TiCON band, then send the permalink or last month's bill.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this the official AWS pricing calculator?
- No. AWS's own calculator is at calculator.aws. This page prices a short list of common services at OnDemand in Mumbai and Singapore, converts the total to taka at an indicative market rate, and shows a labelled TiCON estimate. It is built for Bangladesh buyers who think in BDT.
- Where do the dollar prices come from?
- The AWS Price List Bulk API. The file on this site records when those rates were fetched. If that timestamp is older than 45 days, treat the numbers as stale and ask for a refresh before you rely on them.
- Is the BDT figure what TiCON will invoice?
- No. The taka column uses a public USD/BDT mid-market rate, dated and sourced on the result. TiCON's invoice quoting rule is not published, so this page will not claim the on-screen taka is the invoice.
- Does the TiCON range include tax?
- No. VAT and AIT on a local invoice are omitted because those rates are a finance-owned input. Read them on a real invoice, not on this page.
- Why Mumbai and Singapore only?
- Those are the two Regions TiCON actually runs for Bangladeshi clients. AWS has no Region in Bangladesh. Hyderabad and others exist; they are not in this first version of the tool.
- Can I pay this estimate with bKash?
- This screen is not a checkout. Paying AWS in taka — including by bank, card, or mobile financial services as agreed on the account — is a reseller-billing conversation. Start from the pay-AWS hub or the contact form.
