Billing and cost
How do I estimate my GitHub Actions bill?
Quick answer
Multiply monthly minutes per OS by the per-minute rate for that OS, then add storage for artifacts and cache.
The detail that matters
Most teams underestimate because they forget macOS is billed at a large multiplier and that matrix jobs multiply minute consumption.
