# Calculate Credits Usage

Arkain allows you to estimate credit deductions based on performance and usage purpose. Plan your credit usage wisely to optimize your service efficiency.

## 1. Credits Amount by Resource <a href="#credit-amount-by-resource" id="credit-amount-by-resource"></a>

<table><thead><tr><th width="162">Performance</th><th width="279">Specification</th><th width="154">Credits per hour</th><th>Price</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Micro</td><td>0.5 vCPU, 1GB Memory</td><td>1.96</td><td>$0.0392</td></tr><tr><td>Small</td><td>1 vCPU, 4GB Memory</td><td>6.80</td><td>$0.1360</td></tr><tr><td>Medium</td><td>2 vCPU, 8GB Memory</td><td>13.60</td><td>$0.2720</td></tr><tr><td>Large</td><td>4 vCPU, 16GB Memory</td><td>27.20</td><td>$0.5440</td></tr><tr><td>XLarge</td><td>8 vCPU, 32GB Memory</td><td>54.40</td><td>$1.0880</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/pages/wyK1FDt0l0StWKDBdQ2F">GPU Basic </a>(NVIDIA Tesla T4)</td><td>3.5 vCPU, 13GB Memory</td><td>51.76</td><td>$1.0352</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/pages/gyJDFvtPNjLDEZ6evMdG">Code Supporter</a> (Advanced)</td><td>0.5 vCPU, 1GB Memory</td><td>1.96</td><td>$0.0392</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="warning" %}

#### Note on Advanced Features

The cost for using the optional **Code Supporter** feature is added to your container cost. However, when using a GPU container, there is no additional charge for this feature; instead, your allocated **GPU compute and memory resources** will be reduced.
