+Overview
+--------
+
+|charts-short| on |service| is metered based on the volume of data
+transferred from the |charts-short| web server to web browser clients.
+MongoDB provides each |charts-short| instance with a free ``1 GB`` of
+data transfers per month. You can view your |charts-short| instance's
+monthly data usage in the :ref:`Admin Settings <admin-usage>` page.
+
+The free usage tier provides approximately 500,000 chart
+renders over a month. However, this number may vary based on the types
+of charts being rendered. A number chart or a bar chart with few bars
+typically consumes less data, while a scatter chart with many
+data points or a large table could consume more.
+
+Once the ``1 GB`` of free data usage has been consumed, MongoDB bills
+Charts data transfers at a fixed rate of **$1.00 per GB**.
+
+In addition, any applicable |service| data transfer fees apply, as per
+the :guilabel:`Data Transfer Fees` section of the
+`Atlas Pricing <https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas/pricing>`__ page.
+|charts-short| is hosted on |aws| ``us-east-1`` region, and
+uses this region to calculate the fees.
+
+Sample Pricing Scenarios
+------------------------
+
+The following examples show the expected monthly charge for different
+usage scenarios. Consider:
+
+1. A |charts-short| instance with 5 users, each of whom refreshes a 
+   10-chart :ref:`dashboard <dashboards>` once an hour during business
+   hours. This results in about 8,000 renders over
+   the month, and easily falls within the ``1 GB`` free tier.
+
+   |
+
+2. A dashboard on a large-screen display with 20 charts set to refresh
+   every 5 minutes, all 24 hours of the day. This results in about
+   300,000 renders over the month. Assuming these charts are not
+   abnormally large, this scenario also falls entirely within the
+   ``1 GB`` free tier.
+
+   |
+
+3. A *large* chart embedded on a web page that receives 10,000 views
+   per day, resulting in 300,000 renders over the month. This chart
+   takes roughly five times as much data to render compared to a
+   typical chart, and consumes ``3 GB`` of data over the month.
+
+   The first ``1 GB`` is free, and the remaining ``2 GB`` is billed at
+   $1.00 per GB, resulting in a total cost of $2.00 for the month.
