# Civo cost dashboard for Mac. Canonical URL: 1. [Home](https://civo-cloud-manager.app/) 3. Civo cost dashboard Last updated October 18, 2026 By [Marcel R. G. Berger](https://marcelrgberger.com/) Real charges from the Civo charges API. Period picker, projection, rate editor. The Civo browser dashboard surfaces last-day costs at best. CivoCloudManager talks to the Civo charges API directly and renders the numbers in a native window, current month with a month-end projection, last month, last quarter, year to date, with per-resource breakdown and a rate editor for custom hourly rates. The runaway pod that burned €40 last week is the one you spot today, not the one you find in next month's invoice. ![CivoCloudManager cost dashboard with period picker, breakdown chart and projected month-end total](https://civo-cloud-manager.app/screens/costs.png) ## What the cost dashboard delivers. The cost dashboard in CivoCloudManager is a native macOS view that shows your real Civo Cloud charges from the Civo charges API, with a month-end projection for the current month. It is made up of the six parts below. - Real charges, not estimates. Numbers come from the Civo charges API, the same source that produces your invoice. No price-list multiplication, no client-side guessing. - Period picker with projection. This month (with projected total), last month, last quarter, this year. Switching periods is one click; data for past months is cached locally so the next view is instant. - Per-resource-type breakdown. Charges grouped by Compute, Kubernetes, Volumes, Object Stores, Databases, Load Balancers, Network. Each group expands to individual resources. - Rate editor. Override hourly rates per resource type if your account has negotiated pricing. Overrides persist locally and apply to every period view. - Month-end projection. Linear extrapolation from current month-to-date over remaining days. Gives you a defensible "what will this month cost" answer without waiting. - Past months cached locally. Historical charges are persisted in a local cache so opening a six-month-old period does not re-hit the API. Cache is bound to the active region and Civo account. ## Catch runaway resources before the invoice. Runaway resources show up as a jump in the month-end projection, which you see in the cost view long before the invoice arrives. A misconfigured ReplicaSet that spins up 12 high-RAM pods every hour can burn three-digit Euros before the browser dashboard updates. CivoCloudManager rebuilds the month-to-date number every time you open the cost view; if your projected month-end suddenly doubles, you know in seconds, not at month close. ## Past invoices in one click. The cost view links straight to your past invoices on the Civo dashboard for download. No tab-hunting, no re-login. The app reads its own charges API for the live numbers and defers to Civo's billing portal for the legal documents. ## Civo cost dashboard: common questions ### How can I see my current Civo Cloud costs on a Mac? Open the cost view in CivoCloudManager. It reads real charges from the Civo charges API, the same source as your invoice, and shows this month with a projected total, last month, last quarter and this year. ### How is the Civo month-end projection calculated? By linear extrapolation: the month-to-date total from the Civo charges API is extended over the remaining days of the month. The number is rebuilt every time you open the cost view. ### Can I use negotiated hourly rates in the cost dashboard? Yes. The rate editor overrides hourly rates per resource type; the overrides are stored locally and apply to every period view. Deep dives ## Targeted reads for each Civo product.
