EC2 m5 instance prices

The m5 series is a general purpose EC2 line running on Intel Xeon Platinum 8175. It has 8 sizes, from the m5.large with 2 vCPUs and 8 GiB to the m5.24xlarge with 96 vCPUs and 384 GiB, and it is balanced with a median of 4.0 GiB per vCPU.

In US East the Linux on-demand price runs from $0.0960/hour to $4.61/hour, or $70.08 to $3,364 a month. The median price per vCPU-hour across the series is $0.0480.

Every size costs the same $0.0480 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.
