Amazon Route 53 Pricing

Pay only for what you use. There is no minimum fee. Estimate your monthly bill using the AWS Simple Monthly Calculator.

Hosted Zones

$0.50 per hosted zone / month for the first 25 hosted zones
$0.10 per hosted zone / month for additional hosted zones

The monthly hosted zone prices listed above are not prorated for partial months. A hosted zone is charged upon set-up and on the first day of each subsequent month. To allow testing, a hosted zone that is deleted within 12 hours of creation is not charged; however, any queries on that zone will be charged at the rates below.

Standard Queries

$0.500 per million queries – first 1 Billion queries / month
$0.250 per million queries – over 1 Billion queries / month

Latency Based Routing Queries

$0.750 per million queries – first 1 Billion queries / month
$0.375 per million queries – over 1 Billion queries / month

The query prices listed above are prorated; for instance, a hosted zone with 100,000 standard queries would be charged $0.050 and a hosted zone with 100,000 Latency Based Routing queries would be charged $0.075.

Queries to Alias records that are mapped to Elastic Load Balancers are free. These queries are listed as “Intra-AWS-DNS-Queries” on the Amazon Route 53 usage report.
