Financial
The Financial section gives you a full picture of your cloud spending. Navigate to Account → Financial in the left sidebar.
Dashboard
The project dashboard shows a real-time summary at the top of the page:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Current Month | Total cost accrued so far this billing period |
| Forecasted Month End | Projected total cost if current usage continues to end of month |
| Last Month | Actual total cost for the previous billing period |
The Balance card (top right) shows your current account balance. A negative balance means your account has outstanding charges. Credits and unpaid amounts are shown separately.
Cost breakdown
Current Month Breakdown
A donut chart showing the proportion of your spend by resource type (Compute, Block Storage, Networking, etc.) for the current month.
Costs Breakdown Comparison
A horizontal bar chart comparing this month's spend against last month's, broken down by resource category. Useful for spotting unexpected increases.
Top Cost Generators
A table listing your most expensive individual resources — servers, volumes, backups, etc. — with current month cost, forecasted cost, and creation date. Use this to identify and review resources that are driving the most spend.
Adding funds
Click + Add Funds on the balance card to top up your account. Bamboozle uses a prepay model — resources continue to run as long as your account has sufficient balance.
Billing model
Bamboozle charges on a per-second basis. Resources are billed from the moment they are created to the moment they are deleted.
Key points:
- Servers continue to be billed while powered off (shut down). Delete a server if you no longer need it.
- Volumes are billed regardless of whether they are attached to a server.
- Floating IPs are billed from the moment they are allocated, even if not associated with a server.
- Snapshots are billed based on the storage space they consume.
Last Transactions
A chronological list of charges and credits applied to your account. Each entry shows the amount, description, and timestamp.
