EC2 m4 instance prices

General purpose · Intel Xeon E5-2676 v3 (Haswell)

The m4 series is a general purpose EC2 line running on Intel Xeon E5-2676 v3 (Haswell). It has 6 sizes, from the m4.large with 2 vCPUs and 8 GiB to the m4.16xlarge with 64 vCPUs and 256 GiB, and it is balanced with a median of 4.0 GiB per vCPU.

In US East the Linux on-demand price runs from $0.1000/hour to $3.20/hour, or $73.00 to $2,336 a month. The median price per vCPU-hour across the series is $0.0500.

Every size costs the same $0.0500 per vCPU-hour, so price scales linearly: doubling the size doubles the bill, and two smaller instances cost exactly as much as one larger one. That makes it easy to start small and resize later without changing your unit cost. All sizes are sold in the same 12 of the 12 regions we track. Each size below links to a page with prices in every tracked region, reserved-instance savings, Windows pricing and cheaper alternatives of the same shape.
