This page describes pricing for all Network Connectivity products.
At a high level, your Cloud VPN charges consist of the following:
For more information about Cloud VPN, see the Cloud VPN overview.
Note: Only VPN tunnels in certain tunnel states are billed.
Pricing table
To view pricing, select the location of the Cloud VPN gateway. Except where otherwise noted, all details apply to both Classic VPN and HA VPN.
Component billed | Price (USD) |
|---|---|
Hourly charge for each tunnel attached to the gateway. HA VPN only: For 99.99% availability, you must configure two tunnels, or, if working with an AWS peer gateway, four tunnels. | $0.05 / 1 hour |
IPsec traffic | You are charged as follows:
If the source and destination Cloud VPN gateways are in the same Google Cloud region, data transfer is billed as traffic between zones in the same region.
|
External IP address for VPN gateway | You are charged as described in IP address pricing . An external IP address is charged only if it is not being used by a VPN tunnel. |
Google does not charge for forwarding rules that send traffic to the VPN gateway.
If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on Cloud Platform SKUs apply.
Pricing scenarios
For help understanding Cloud VPN pricing, refer to the following examples.
us-central1 gateway to data center
Suppose you have a VPN gateway in us-central1. That gateway uses two tunnels to connect with an on-premises data center in Iowa.
Each month, you send 2 tebibytes (TiB) of data through the tunnel, from your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network to your data center. At the same time, you send 2 TiB in the other direction—from the data center to your VPC network.
Additionally, your gateway uses a reserved external IP address.
The following table shows the charges that you'd incur during a 30-day month with this setup.
Gateway | Data transfer | Data transfer in | IP address | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
us-central1 gateway ($0.050) x 2 tunnels x 720 hours = $72.00 | 2 TiB (or 2,048 GiB) x $0.11 = $225.28 | No charge for data transfer in | No charge for a reserved external IP address that is used by a tunnel | $297.28 |
asia-northeast1 gateway to data center and another VPC network
Suppose your project has a VPC network called Network A, which includes a VPN gateway in asia-northeast1. This gateway uses two tunnels to connect with an on-premises data center in Tokyo. Additionally, this gateway uses two tunnels to connect with Network B, another VPC network in your project. Network B's gateway is located in europe-west6.
Each month, your data usage is as follows:
Both the asia-northeast1 and europe-west6 gateways use reserved external IP addresses.
Additionally, you have a third VPN gateway in southamerica-east1. You created this gateway several months ago and assigned it a reserved external IP address. However, you never set up a tunnel for this gateway.
The following table shows the charges that this setup would incur during a 30-day month.
Gateway | Data transfer | Data transfer in | IP address | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
asia-northeast1 gateway ($0.075), with four tunnels x 720 hours = $216.00 | Traffic to the data center: 10 TiB (or 10,240 GiB) x $0.14 = $1,433.60 | No charge for data transfer in. | No charge for a reserved external IP address that is used by a tunnel. | $3,288.00 |
Traffic to Network B: 20 TiB (or 20,480 GiB) x $0.08 = $1,638.40 | No charge for data transfer in. | |||
europe-west6 gateway ($0.065) x 2 tunnels x 720 hours = $93.60 | Traffic to Network A: 20 TiB (or 20,480 GiB) x $0.08 = $1,638.40 | No charge for data transfer in. | No charge for a reserved external IP address that is used by a tunnel. | $1,732.00 |
southamerica-east1 gateway ($0.075) x 0 tunnels x 720 hours = no charge | No data transfer out | No charge for data transfer in. | One unused external IP address in southamerica-east1 ($0.015) x 720 hours = $10.80. | $10.80 |
Grand total | $5,030.80 |
This document explains Cloud Interconnect pricing details.
If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on Cloud Platform SKUs apply.
Google charges you on an hourly basis for both Cloud Interconnect connections and VLAN attachments. The hourly charge for each resource, either Cloud Interconnect connection or VLAN attachment, is charged to the project that owns the resource.
Data transfer from your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks through your Cloud Interconnect connections is discounted compared to general network pricing for Google Cloud. Data transfer out pricing depends on the number of gibibytes (GiB) transferred and the location of your Cloud Interconnect connection.
This discounted pricing applies only to traffic that originates in the region where the VLAN attachment is located. You can use VLAN attachments to access services located in a different region than the VLAN attachment. In this case, you are charged standard cross-region rates for traffic between the region where the VLAN attachment is located and the region where the service is located.
Cloud Interconnect data transfer out charges accrue to the project that owns the VLAN attachment. The project that owns the Cloud Interconnect connection is not billed for the data transfer. Specifically, costs for data transfer from a VLAN attachment in a Shared VPC service project, which travels through a Cloud Interconnect connection in a different host project, are attributed to the service project.
For HA VPN over Cloud Interconnect deployments, you are charged for your Dedicated Interconnect connections, VLAN attachments, HA VPN tunnels, and regional external IP addresses, if an IP address is assigned to a VPN gateway but not used by a tunnel.
In terms of HA VPN over Cloud Interconnect data transfer, you are charged only for Cloud Interconnect data transfer out. You are not charged for Cloud VPN data transfer.
For more information, see Cloud VPN pricing.

Data transfer (leaving from a Google Cloud region in the United States over a Cloud Interconnect connection in the United States) | 20 TiB | 20,480 GiB x $0.02 = $409.60 |
Total cost | $10,898.56 |
Google charges you on an hourly basis for VLAN attachments, depending on their capacity. The hourly charges are billed to the project that owns the VLAN attachment. Your service provider might also charge you for services such as using their network, which isn't included in your Google Cloud bills. For information about their pricing, contact your service provider.
Data transfer from your VPC networks though your attachments is discounted compared to general network pricing for Google Cloud. Outbound data transfer pricing depends on the number of gibibytes (GiB) transferred and the location of your Cloud Interconnect connection.
This discounted pricing applies only to traffic that originates in the region where the VLAN attachment is located. You can use VLAN attachments to access services located in a different region than the VLAN attachment. In this case, you are charged standard cross-region rates for traffic between the region where the VLAN attachment is located and the region where the service is located.
Cloud Interconnect data transfer out charges accrue to the project that owns the VLAN attachment. The project that owns the Cloud Interconnect connection is not billed for data transfer. Specifically, costs for data transfer traffic from a VLAN attachment in a Shared VPC service project, which travels through a Cloud Interconnect connection in a different host project, are attributed to the service project.
For HA VPN over Cloud Interconnect deployments, you are charged for your VLAN attachments, HA VPN tunnels, and regional external IP addresses, if an address is assigned to a VPN gateway but not used by a tunnel.
In terms of HA VPN over Cloud Interconnect data transfer, you are charged only for Cloud Interconnect outbound data transfer. You are not charged for Cloud VPN data transfer.
