## Understanding billing

PerfectScale billing is based on the **average monthly vCPU usage**. This approach is designed for dynamic Kubernetes environments, where workloads often scale up and down over time, ensuring fair and accurate pricing.

{% hint style="success" icon="function" %}
**avg Monthly vCPU = total vCPU-hours used during the month / total hours in that month**
{% endhint %}

This gives the **average concurrent vCPU usage** across the full month.
