Billing

DigitalOcean billing cycles are monthly. Your balance accrues over the course of the calendar month based on the cost of the resources you use. We are also required by law to apply taxes for certain countries.

We automatically invoice and charge your team’s primary payment method on the first day of each month for the previous month’s usage, or partway through the month if you exceed your team’s usage threshold.

Payment

Pay bills from DigitalOcean using a credit card, a debit card, a third-party provider (like PayPal, Google Pay, or Apple Pay), or a bank account.
