Included minutes are not billable minutes
Private repositories receive plan-specific allowances. Enter only the minutes beyond that allowance so the estimate does not count the same usage twice.

How to estimate your GitHub Actions bill
GitHub Actions costs depend on where your jobs run, how many billable minutes they use, and how much artifact, package, and cache storage they keep. Start with the usage above your plan’s included allowance, then use the estimate as a planning check.
Runner type changes the rate
Linux, Windows, and macOS hosted runners have different per-minute rates. Split your usage by runner type for a more useful estimate instead of applying one average rate.
Storage is a separate cost
Artifacts and packages use shared storage, while the Actions cache is measured separately. Include both when investigating a bill that is higher than expected.
Public repositories using standard GitHub-hosted runners and jobs on self-hosted runners are not charged for Actions minutes, but self-hosted infrastructure still has its own operating cost. The calculator does not access your GitHub account or reproduce an invoice. Check GitHub’s current Actions billing documentation before making a budget or architecture decision, and read the GitHub Actions pricing guide for a broader explanation.
