+# NERC Pricing Calculator
+
+The NERC Pricing Calculator is a google excel based tool for estimating the cost
+of utilizing various NERC resources in different NERC service offerings. It offers
+a user-friendly interface, allowing users to input their requirements and customize
+configurations to generate accurate and tailored cost estimates for optimal
+budgeting and resource allocation.
+
+Start your estimate with no commitment, and explore NERC services and pricing for
+your research needs by using [this online tool](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/187bQgz3eB3W9OL7x9rrgaJ2pi7u85xMJvUJbnKzzBQM/edit#gid=0).
+
+!!! info "How to use the NERC Pricing Calculator?"
+    Please Note, you need to make a copy of this tool before estimating the
+    cost and once copied you can easily update corresponding resource type columns'
+    values on your own working sheet that will reflect your potential Service
+    Units (SU), Rate, and cost per Hour, Month and Year. This tool has 4 sheets
+    at the bottom as shown here:
+    ![Estimator Available Sheets](images/cost-estimator-bottom-sheets.png)
+    If you are more interested to calculate your cost estimates based on the available
+    **NERC OpenStack flavors** (which define the compute, memory, and storage capacity
+    for your dedicated instances), you can select and use the second sheet titled
+    "**OpenStack Flavor**". For cost estimating the NERC OpenShift resources,
+    you can use the first sheet titled "**Calculate SU**" and input pod specific
+    resource requests in each row. If you are scaling the pods more than one then
+    you need to enter a new row or entry for each scaled pods. For Storage cost,
+    you need to use the third sheet titled "**Calculate Storage**". And then the
+    overall total cost will be reflected at the last sheet titled "**Total Cost**".
+

+institution, see [Billing Process for My Institution](get-started/cost-billing/billing-process-for-my-institution.md).
