Pricing notes

Pricing Breakdown And Insights

Reference notes for how the calculator compares SES pricing models, tiering, and the main assumptions behind the estimates.

When using Managed IP addresses, AWS applies tiered pricing to your outbound volume.

As your volume increases to millions of emails per month, the cost per thousand emails decreases significantly.

VDM helps you improve your sender reputation and deliverability.

As of February 2025, AWS applies tiered pricing to VDM, reducing the cost per email as your monthly volume increases.

  • The calculator assumes you are beyond any initial free trials as SES free tier is primarily for outbound emails from EC2.
  • Standard dedicated IP addresses have a fixed monthly cost regardless of volume.
  • Managed IPs have a lower base monthly cost but include an additional per-email fee that scales with volume.
