Networking billing SKUs

Egress, load balancing, NAT, and interconnect — the charges that surprise people most.

Internet and inter-region egress

Network Internet Egress

This is data your workload sends out of Google Cloud to the public internet.

Network Inter Region Egress

This is traffic between two Google Cloud regions — it never leaves Google, but it is still billed.

Network Inter Zone Egress

Traffic between zones inside the same region.

NAT and gateways

Cloud NAT Data Processing

Cloud NAT lets instances without external IP addresses reach the internet, and bills for every gigabyte that passes through it — inbound as well as outbound.

Load balancing

Load Balancer Forwarding Rule and Data Processing

A Google Cloud load balancer bills in two parts: an hourly charge for each forwarding rule whether or not anything uses it, and a per-gigabyte charge for data it processes.
