To calculate your costs for a specific run by paying user, multiply the unit cost of each service by the quantity consumed. For example, if a _BRONZE_ tier user run uses 10 compute units (CUs) at $0.4/CU, your cost would be $4.
To calculate your costs for a specific run by paying user, multiply the unit cost of each service by the quantity consumed. For example, if a _BRONZE_ tier user run uses 10 compute units (CUs) at $0.3/CU, your cost would be $3.

As highlighted in the [How to attract larger customers of PPE and PPR Actors](#how-to-attract-larger-customers-of-ppe-and-ppr-actors) section, if your Actor uses tiered pricing, the user's discount tier determines the unit costs applied to their runs. Your costs are lower for higher tiers, enabling you to offer more competitive pricing to these customers, while sustaining healthy profit margins.

The following table summarizes the platform unit costs used for your cost computation across different discount tiers.

| Service (unit) | _FREE_ | _BRONZE_ | _SILVER_ | _GOLD_ |

| Compute unit (per CU) | $0.4 | $0.4 | $0.3 | $0.25 |
