I'm trying to find a way to estimate costs for various AWS EC2 instance types without having to go through each one individually. Ideally, I'd like to input details like the number of instances I need for different types, such as:
- c7i-flex.large: 8
- m8i-flex.xlarge: 10
- t3a.xlarge: 4
and then receive a total cost. I know there are tools like Vantage, but I'm looking for a faster solution because I have several types to calculate for a cost savings project. Any suggestions?

Check out the MCP on EC2instances.info. It allows you to quickly input your data and get results in seconds. You won't need to spend much time on this at all! Here’s the link for you: https://instances-mcp.vantage.sh/?utm_campaign=Instances%20Blog%20Clicks&utm_source=nav
You can use the AWS Calculator's bulk import feature! You can input your instance details in an Excel file and import them directly. It’s not perfect but definitely faster than entering everything one by one. Here's the link: https://calculator.aws/#/bulk-import
If you prefer a simple method, you could just use the AWS calculator manually. It takes about 30 seconds, and here’s the link: https://calculator.aws/#/createCalculator/ec2-enhancement.
