All paid AWS Support plans are billed monthly, with no long-term contracts. AWS Support fees are calculated on a per-account basis for Business and Developer Support plans. For Enterprise On-Ramp and Enterprise Support, you are billed based on the aggregate monthly AWS charges for all your account IDs subscribed to Enterprise On-Ramp or Enterprise Support.

Monthly fees for the Developer, Business, Enterprise On-Ramp, and Enterprise Support plans are calculated based on each month's gross AWS charges (before any discounts or credits are applied). Charges for certain AWS Services, including the following, are not included in the AWS Support fee calculation: AWS Support, AWS Elemental Support, AWS Elemental Media Event Management, AWS Managed Services, AWS Marketplace, AWS Professional Services, AWS Training and Certifications, and Amazon EKS Anywhere. Charges for Amazon Mechanical Turk, Amazon Mechanical Turk Worker Rewards, FreeRTOS, and VMware Cloud on AWS are also not included in the AWS Support fee calculation.

AWS Support fees will be the greater of (a) the specified minimum monthly fee, or (b) a percentage of your monthly AWS charges, as described above. If you cancel your subscription for AWS Support within 30 days of sign-up, you will still need to pay the greater of the monthly minimum or a percent of your AWS charges for the period of time you are enrolled. AWS reserves the right to refuse to provide AWS Support to any customer that frequently signs up for and then cancels AWS Support.

Customers qualify for the regional pricing if all accounts on their billing profile are concentrated in qualified LATAM countries, India, or Mainland China subject to conditions below.

Purchasing support for reserved resources

When you prepay for Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, and Nodes for Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, Amazon ElastiCache, Amazon Elasticsearch, Amazon DynamoDB (and any other AWS Services for which such reserved resources exist) and are enrolled in a paid AWS Support plan, the upfront charges for each reserved resource are included in the calculation of your AWS Support fees in the month you purchase the resources. In addition, any recurring charges for these resources are included in the calculation of your AWS Support fees for the month in which these charges are incurred.

If you have existing reserved resources when you sign up for a paid AWS Support plan, the upfront charges for the reserved resources, prorated over the term of the reservation, are included in the fee calculation for the first month of AWS Support. For example, if you purchase either a three-year Amazon EC2 All or Partial Upfront Reserved Instance on January 1 and sign up for the Business Support plan on October 1 of the same year, 75% of the upfront fee you paid in January is included in the calculation of Support fees for October.
