# Actions runner pricing

Reference information for calculating the cost of using different GitHub-hosted runners.

GitHub rounds the minutes and partial minutes each job uses up to the nearest whole minute.

## Points to note about rates for runners

* The number of jobs you can run concurrently across all repositories in your user or organization account depends on your GitHub plan. For more information, see [Billing and usage](/en/enterprise-server@3.22/actions/concepts/billing-and-usage) for GitHub-hosted runners and [Actions limits](/en/enterprise-server@3.22/actions/reference/limits) for self-hosted runner usage limits.
* Larger runners are only available for organizations and enterprises using the GitHub Team or GitHub Enterprise Cloud plans.
* Larger runners are only billed at the per-minute rate for the amount of time workflows are executed on them. There is no cost associated with creating a larger runner that is not being used by a workflow.
* For larger runners, there is no additional cost for configurations that assign public static IP addresses to a larger runner. For more information on larger runners, see [Larger runners](/en/enterprise-server@3.22/actions/concepts/runners/larger-runners).
* Included minutes cannot be used for larger runners.
* The larger runners are not free for public repositories.
