# Billing and account management

This section contains information about how your Timescale account is billed.
It also shows you how to add a payment method, or update to a new credit card.

## Enterprise Tier

The Enterprise Tier is available to all customers, reach out to your customer success contact person to set this up. For more information, visit [here](https://www.timescale.com/enterprise).

## Usage-based storage

<UsageBasedStorage />

This means that you don't need to select a storage size when you create a
service, and your services are not locked to a fixed disk size. If you reduce
the size of your data through compression, retention policies, or by deleting
some of it, your bill is immediately decreased. With this billing system you
don't need to scale your storage over time, you can just keep ingesting data as
you need to. All Timescale services can store up to 16&nbsp;TB.

At the end of the month, you are charged for only the storage you have used. Storage
charges are calculated according to this formula:

```txt
Storage used in GiB * (seconds stored / 3600) * price per hour
```

Disk usage is metered in 15 minute intervals over an hour to build an average
value of hourly data stored. Bills are calculated on a 730 hour month.

<Highlight type="note">
If you want to estimate your bill ahead of the billing cycle, you can use the
[calculator on the pricing page](https://www.timescale.com/pricing).
The pricing calculator does not include volume discounts. If you want a
personalized quote, [get in contact](https://www.timescale.com/contact).
</Highlight>

### Compression and storage costs

If you enable compression, your bill decreases automatically. For example, if
compression reduces your storage size by five times, then your effective storage
cost is also five times lower. For more information about enabling storage
compression, see the [compression section][compression].

### Allocating additional storage for migration or backfill

You do not need to allocate extra disk space for backfilling or migrating your
data. Usage-based storage means that disk allocation is not a concern in
Timescale. For example, if your recently migrated database requires less disk
space after compression, you do not need to downscale your volume. The reduction
in your storage bill proportionally matches the reduction in your disk usage.

## Add, update, or delete a payment method

You can add up to three credit cards to the `Wallet` and set one of the cards as
`primary` for payments. If you want to delete the last card in the `Wallet`, you
have to first delete all the services and then schedule the last card to be
deleted at the end of the month. However, if you are still on trial, you can
delete the card in the `Wallet` without deleting the services.

<Highlight type="important">
If you prefer to pay by invoice, or if you are unable to provide a credit card
for billing, you can switch your project to corporate billing instead. To switch
from credit card to corporate billing,
[get in contact](https://www.timescale.com/contact/)
and request to be changed to corporate billing.
</Highlight>

<Procedure>

### Adding, updating, or deleting a payment method

1. [Log in to your Timescale account][cloud-login] and navigate to
the `Billing` details section.
1. In the `Wallet` section, click `Add payment method`. If you already have
three credit cards saved in the payment methods, you need to delete at least
one of them before you start. Click the trash can icon to delete your saved
credit card.
1. Type your credit card details, and click `Continue`.
The `Add payment method: billing address` page appears.
1. Type your billing and company addresses. The company address is
required to determine any applicable sales tax.
* If your billing address is the same as your company address, select
`Billing address is the same as company address`, and click `Save`.
* If your billing address is not the same as your company address, click
`Continue`. Type your company address, and click `Save`.
1. Confirm your new credit card is saved by checking the details on the
`Billing` page.
You can update your billing address and company address by clicking the edit
icon in the `primary` payment method. However, you can only edit the billing
address on other payment methods.

alt="Adding a payment method in Timescale"/>

</Procedure>

The first credit card that you add to the payment method is set as the `Primary
payment method`, by default. After you add other cards to the payment method,
click `Set as primary` to set that card as primary for payments.

<Highlight type="note">
The first charge on your new credit card is for the period from the date you
added the card, to the end of that calendar month. After that, all payment
confirmations are for usage from the first of the month, to the last day of the
month.
</Highlight>

## Add or update your billing email address

By default, your payment confirmations are sent to the email
address that you used when you signed up. This is also the address that receives
alerts about your Timescale services. If you want your payment
confirmations to also go to a different email address, for example the email
address for your finance department, you can add it in the `Billing` details
section.

<Highlight type="note">
When you add a billing email address, payment confirmations are sent to both the
email address you add, and the original email address that you signed up with.
</Highlight>

<Procedure>

### Adding a billing email address

1. [Log in to your Timescale account][cloud-login] and navigate to
the `Billing` details section.
1. In the `Payment emails` tab, click `Add New Email`.
1. Type the email address that you want payment confirmations
sent to, and click `Add email`. A confirmation email is sent to the email
address you entered.
1. Follow the instructions in the confirmation email to confirm the email
address. Another email is sent to the address you signed up with to notify
that the new email address is saved.

alt="Adding a new billing email address in Timescale"/>

</Procedure>

## Add or update your company details

By default, your company name and address is set to be the same as that used for
your payment method. You can change your company name and address in the
`Billing` details section.

<Procedure>

### Adding or updating your company name and address

1. [Log in to your Timescale account][cloud-login] and navigate to
the `Billing` details section.
1. In the `Billing details` tab, locate the `Company info` section and click
the pencil icon.
1. Complete the company name and address information, and click `Save`.
