Separate database resource lines
Cloud SQL estimates include instance vCPU and memory time, storage, backups, and network. Google documents separate high-availability prices and notes that read replicas are charged at standalone rates. SQL Server can add a license component.
A hypothetical 4-vCPU, 16-GiB instance for 730 hours has 2,920 vCPU-hours and 11,680 GiB-hours. Add storage GiB-months, backup storage, replicas, HA configuration, and outbound data by destination. Apply selected regional prices separately; no single instance rate includes every component.
The Cloud SQL Cost Calculator models Enterprise vCPU and memory in Iowa only. Validate storage, backups, availability, licenses, and egress separately.
FAQ

Check the current Cloud SQL pricing table; HA resource prices and other components have distinct rules.
