View and download your Azure usage and charges

  • Artikkeli

You can download a daily breakdown of your Azure usage and charges in the Azure portal. Only certain roles have permission to get Azure usage information, like the Account Administrator or Enterprise Administrator. To learn more about getting access to billing information, see Manage access to Azure billing using roles.

If you have a Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA), you must be a billing profile Owner, Contributor, Reader, or Invoice manager to view your Azure usage and charges. If you have a Microsoft Partner Agreement (MPA), only the billing admin and Admin Agent role in the partner organization Microsoft can view and download Azure usage and charges.

Based on the type of subscription that you use, options to download your usage and charges vary.

If you want to get cost and usage data using the Azure CLI, see Get usage data with the Azure CLI.

Download usage for your Microsoft Customer Agreement

To view and download usage data for a billing profile, you must be a billing profile Owner, Contributor, Reader, or Invoice manager.

Use the following information to download usage for billed charges. The same steps are used to download open and pending charges, which is the month-to-date usage for the current billing period. Open and pending charges haven't been billed yet.

Download usage file

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
  2. Search for Cost Management + Billing.
  3. Select a billing profile. Depending on your access, you might need to select a billing account first.
  4. In the left menu, select Invoices.

  6. Select the ellipsis symbol (...) at the end of the row.

  8. When the file is ready to download, select Download. If you missed the notification, you can view it from Notifications area in top right of the Azure portal (the bell symbol).

Calculate discount in the usage file

The usage file shows the following per-consumption line items:

  • costInBillingCurrency (Column AU)
  • paygCostInBillingCurrency (Column AX).

Use the information from the two columns to calculate your discount amount and discount percentage, as follows:

Discount amount = (AX – AU)

Discount percentage = (Discount amount / AX) * 100

Get usage data with Azure CLI

Start by preparing your environment for the Azure CLI:

Then use the az costmanagement export commands to export usage data to an Azure storage account. You can download the data from there.

  1. Create a resource group or use an existing resource group. To create a resource group, run the az group create command:

    az group create --name TreyNetwork --location "East US"

  2. Create a storage account to receive the exports or use an existing storage account. To create an account, use the az storage account create command:

    az storage account create --resource-group TreyNetwork --name cmdemo

  3. Run the az costmanagement export create command to create the export:

    az costmanagement export create --name DemoExport --type Usage \
--scope "subscriptions/aaaa0a0a-bb1b-cc2c-dd3d-eeeeee4e4e4e" --storage-account-id cmdemo \
--storage-container democontainer --timeframe MonthToDate --storage-directory demodirectory
