RDS Postgres - Does summary from price calculator assume 100% usage
Calculate RDS Monthly Costs
I made a price calculator for hosted PostgreSQL providers
Getting Estimated Monthly Costs for RDS on AWS Free Tier Account
Is the AWS Pricing Calculator free?

Always been afraid to spin up a DB as a service on AWS. Want to bite the bullet so looked at price calculator for:
RDS Postgres
db.t3.micro
Single -AZ (On Demand)
20 GB (gp3) Storage
When I look under Show Calculations for "PostgreSQL instance specifications" it shows an estimate of
$3.29 per month
and under storage
$2.30 per month
However the summary after I click Save and View Summary it shows an estimated monthly cost of
$27.49
Does the summary assume 100% utilization 24/7 throughout the month?? Not sure what I might be missing and want to confirm that it would be around $5.59 if i only used it about 1/4 of the time in the month.
Scratching my own itch of finding the cheapest tools for building websites, I made a free price comparison tool.

I'll be adding more providers like oracle, cloudflare, azure, digitalocean.
Let me know if you have suggestions for improvement, or other providers you'd like to see.
