Estimate Memorystore cost
Forecast the Basic M1 Memorystore capacity charge modeled by this calculator, then identify excluded Redis configurations.

This calculator covers Basic M1 capacity only
The Memorystore calculator models provisioned Basic M1 Redis capacity in Iowa for 1–4 GiB instances. It multiplies entered GiB-hours by that list rate. It does not price Standard tier, larger capacity tiers, replicas, networking, taxes, or discounts. Google publishes distinct pricing for Memorystore offerings, so do not substitute this result for a different tier.
A 20-GiB cache running 730 hours is 14,600 GiB-hours before any replica factor. A primary plus one equal replica doubles the provisioned quantity. This is rate-free math; obtain the applicable engine and regional rate from Google before converting it to currency.
Use the Memorystore Cost Calculator only for that Basic M1 scenario. Review cache hit rate and eviction behavior before resizing; a smaller cache that causes expensive database load may be a false saving.
FAQ
Are all Memorystore engines priced alike?
No. Select the specific Redis, Valkey, Redis Cluster, or Memcached pricing page.
