Billing information for your Organization can be viewed from the Overview page under the Billing & Subscriptions menu in Cloud Services Console.

As an Organization Owner user or an Organization Member user with additional Billing Read-only role permissions, you can view the following billing information for all services purchased from VMware:
  • accrued costs and charges for the current billing period for all services purchased from VMware;
  • promotional credits applied to current costs;
  • payments and outstanding balance for the past billing period for all services purchased from VMware;
  • a detailed account of all purchases, charges, discounts, etc. for all services by month.
Note: For billing information for services purchased through a seller, you must access the seller's billing console. To learn more, see How do I view seller information.

Your Current Costs

The Current Costs section reflects the costs of the services you purchased from VMware. For example, hourly usage of private clouds per CPU. These are accrued costs, and reflect usage for services from the beginning of the current billing period, up until and including the day you view them. The accrued costs reflect only on-demand usage of services in your Organization and do not include commitments costs. This information is refreshed daily.

The Current Costs section also provides information about any promotional credits and discounts you might have received from the VMware Discount program.

Your Last Billing Period

In the Last Billing Statement section, you can view itemized charges accrued over the previous billing period. The billing period is determined by the date the first service was set up in the Organization and lasts one month. For example, if an Organization Owner onboarded the first service of the Organization on the 15th of the month, the billing period for all the services in the Organization runs from the 15th of one month to the 14th of the next.

The Last Billing Statement section provides a summary of the charges for both on-demand and commitment services accrued during the past billing period. To view, download and print a detailed activity statement file for the past billing period, click the View Statement (PDF) link at the bottom of the Last Billing Statement section .

To view and print any of your last 15 activity statements, on-demand invoices and yearly commitment invoices, click the All Statements link. For more information, see How do I view statements and invoices.

There might be cases where a cloud service estimates current cost usage for certain items on a different date to that of the start of your billing period. In this case, there might be a time lag between when the usage occurs and when it shows up on your bill. For more information about how cloud services estimate their current costs, see How Are My Current Costs Estimated.
