CDN Cache Hit Ratio, Origin Bandwidth Offload & Egress Cost Calculator: inputs, method, and how to read the result
See how improving CDN Cache Hit Ratio cuts origin bandwidth and cloud egress bills.
Choose inputs for the case you are checking
The defaults are illustrative. Replace them with values for your case and keep the units shown beside each field.
- Total Monthly Traffic Tb: Total monthly edge data transfer delivered to end users (TB).
- Cache Hit Ratio Pct: CDN Cache Hit Ratio percentage (CHR %).
- Origin Egress Cost Per Gb: Cloud origin egress price per GB ($/GB).
- Cdn Edge Cost Per Gb: CDN edge delivery price per GB ($/GB).
What the calculation includes
With the default values shown, Monthly Cloud Egress Savings is 7,176 USD/mo. The calculation follows CDN Cache Offload Systems Engineering Formula; the formula and variable definitions above show how the inputs combine.
One-input check: With the other defaults held constant, changing Total Monthly Traffic Tb from 120 TB/mo to 132 TB/mo changes Monthly Cloud Egress Savings from 7,176 USD/mo to 7,893.6 USD/mo. This is a comparison inside the calculator's stated model, not a prediction.
Where to use caution
- Uses industry-standard IEEE, IETF RFC, and GPU/cloud hardware sizing conventions.
- Capacity planning estimate; benchmark under production traffic patterns before finalizing cluster or hardware procurement.
Scope: IEEE / IETF / Cloud Systems Engineering Standard Check the assumptions and limitations against your situation before relying on the estimate.
