Enter your annual cloud spend and the commitment term you are considering. We model an indicative discount range and a defensible minimum commitment floor for the AWS Enterprise Discount Program, Azure MACC and Google Cloud CUD — based on 2026 benchmark data. For the structural background, read our guide to multi-year cloud discount structures.
Cloud providers do not publish their enterprise commitment discount tiers, so the ranges here are modelled from 2026 benchmark data observed in real negotiations — not vendor rate cards. They are a starting reference for what is achievable, not a quote. Actual outcomes depend on competitive pressure, account history, growth trajectory and how the commitment is structured.
The EDP discount scales with committed spend and term. A $1M annual commitment typically returns 6–9%, rising toward 15–20% at the largest commitments, with recognisable pricing steps around $1.5M, $2M and $5M. Moving from a one-year to a three-year term is usually worth around five percentage points. EDP eligibility generally begins around $1M–$3M of annual AWS spend.
The Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment discount is contingent on the commitment tier and negotiated inside the broader Microsoft commercial relationship, so it is less transparent than AWS and we model it with a wider band. Its advantage is breadth: many Microsoft Commercial Marketplace purchases, including enrolled third-party software, count toward the committed spend — which makes the floor easier to hit.
Google publishes its rates. Spend-based flexible CUDs deliver 28% for one year and up to 46% for three years on covered compute (Compute Engine, GKE Autopilot and Cloud Run). Those headline figures apply to eligible compute rather than your whole estate, so a blended discount across a mixed workload will be lower. As of January 2026, Google applies CUD savings directly to SKU prices under its multiprice model.
The biggest risk in any multi-year commitment is overcommitting: opening proposals typically sit 15–30% above realistic spend, and a shortfall is paid back as a true-up at the full published rate. The floor shown here is a conservative starting point — the spend you can defend even in a downside scenario. Everything above it should be earned with extra discount or flexibility clauses. To pressure-test a real proposal, request a confidential briefing or download the AWS EDP Negotiation Playbook.
This calculator gives you a benchmark. We give you the negotiated floor — modelled against current transaction data, with the ramp and flexibility clauses that protect the discount.
