### [<mark style="color:blue;">**Revamped Cost & Usage in the DCD**</mark>](https://docs.ionos.com/sections-test/guides/set-up-ionos-cloud/management/usage/cost-and-usage)

{% hint style="success" %}
**March 25** The **Cost & Usage** view has been revamped with a fresh and intuitive design. It provides:

* A comprehensive summary of your account's cost for the past six months, including the current month.
* A monthly report with detailed insights into all costs associated with using Virtual Data Centers (VDCs) and consuming other products and services.
* Transparency about usage patterns and costs across product categories by displaying the total units consumed, cost per unit, and total cost incurred.
