Frequently Asked Cost & Billing Questions
How is Microsoft Fabric cost calculated?
Microsoft Fabric costs are calculated by multiplying your capacity SKU hourly rate ($0.18 per CU/hour standard) by the number of running hours. Pay-As-You-Go is billed per second, while 1-Year Reserved Instances offer ~41% discounts.
Do I pay separately for Data Factory, Spark, and Power BI?
No! Unlike legacy Azure services where compute was billed separately per service, Microsoft Fabric consolidates all workloads into a single Capacity Unit (CU) compute pool.
Can I pause my Microsoft Fabric capacity to save money?
Yes. Pay-As-You-Go capacities can be paused during non-business hours or weekends via the Azure Portal, REST APIs, or Azure Automation scripts.
What is OneLake storage pricing?
OneLake storage is billed separately at standard ADLS Gen2 rates (~$0.023 per GB/month for hot storage), with no extra charge for Delta Parquet formatting.
