Most cloud waste comes from a handful of recurring patterns: idle resources that were spun up and forgotten, oversized instances provisioned for peak load they never hit, orphaned storage and IPs left behind after resources are deleted, and non-production environments running around the clock when they're only used in working hours. The calculator applies your inputs against these patterns for the headline figure, plus a conservative estimate for powering non-prod down out of hours.
It's an estimate. To turn it into precise, per-resource numbers, Liceo connects to your cloud accounts and tracks it continuously — see the product for how it works, or try our SaaS Waste Calculator for the software side of your spend.
