Estimating spending

Use the enhanced billing platform to understand where your spending is trending based on the usage across products.

Who can use this feature?

Organization owners and billing managers

Outside of GitHub Enterprise Cloud, the enhanced billing platform is available only to organization accounts created after November 13, 2024 on a GitHub Team plan. It is currently not available to:

  • GitHub Free
  • GitHub Pro
  • Organizations that upgrade from GitHub Free to GitHub Team

The enhanced billing platform provides a high-level view of your spending trends based on the usage across products. You can use this information to estimate your spending and make informed decisions about your budget.

Viewing your spending

The "Overview" page provides a high-level view of your spending and budgets.

  1. In the upper-right corner of GitHub, select your profile photo, then click Your organizations.
  2. Next to the organization, click Settings.
  3. On the left side of the page, in the organization sidebar, click Billing & Licensing.

On this page, you can view your usage in the following categories:

  • Current metered usage: The card on the top left shows the gross metered usage for your organization.

  • Metered usage: The graph shows the gross metered usage for your organization.

    To view a different time period, select Time Frame, then choose a time period. You can also download an image or CSV of the graph by clicking on the right.

  • By repository: The card under the graph shows the top five repositories that generate the most usage. You can click in the upper-right corner of each card to view all usage.

  • By products: You can use the product tabs to view usage and discounts for different products.

Tracking budgets

At the bottom of the page, under "Budgets", you can see your current budgets, and how much you have spent against those budgets. If your role provides access, you can edit or delete a budget by clicking to the right of a budget. See Roles for the new billing platform.

If you have used all of your budget, a red banner appears at the top of the page. You can click Update your budget to increase your budget.
