2. Secret Manager bills monthly for the number of active secretversions per location. This is based on actual consumption. If you had asecret version that was active for only 2 days, you would be billedproportional to that usage, and not for the whole month.

   An automatic replication policy is billed as a single location.

3. Secret Manager bills access secret version operations per 10,000operations. This is based on actual consumption. If your project performed25,000 operations, you would be billed for 2.5 times 10,000 operations.

4. Secret Manager bills for every SECRET_ROTATE message sent to a Pub/Sub topic. You will be billed once for every rotation occurrence. Verify that your Pub/Sub topics are configured correctly.

5. Secret Manager does not bill for management operations includingcreating secrets, destroying secrets, or changing the state of secretversions.

Example pricing calculation

In this example, we show a hypothetical scenario to better illustrateSecret Manager billing.

Suppose you have an account with the following secret usage in a given month:

• 10 secrets with a user-managed replication policy into 3 locations, eachhaving 5 active secret versions, for a total of 150 active secret versions.

• 10 secrets with an automatic replication policy each having 10 active secretversions, for a total of 100 secret versions.

• 10 secrets with an automatic replication policy each having zero activesecret versions, sending 5 rotation notifications each.

• 50,000 requests to access secrets.

Your bill for the month would be calculated as follows:

• 150 active secret versions, 6 secret versions are free.

  • Billing total: 144 active secret versions at $0.06: $8.64.

• 100 active secret versions at $0.06: $6.00.

• 10 secrets with 5 rotation notifications, 3 rotation notifications are free.

  • Billing total: 10 secrets with 2 rotation notifications each at $0.05 per notification: $1.00.

• 50,000 requests to access secrets, 10,000 access requests are free.

  • Billing total: 40,000 access requests at $0.03 per 10,000 operations:$0.12.

Total for this pricing example: $15.76
