GitHub Actions cost calculator: your real bill from the last 30 days
Pick the repositories, and Skipbox reads their last 30 days of GitHub Actions runs. You see what GitHub charges for those jobs by runner size, the Skipbox plans that run the same jobs, and one fixed monthly amount to put in a budget request.
Skipbox runs your private repositories' Linux jobs on its runners in Helsinki, for one flat price a month: S $39, M $79, or L $149, with unlimited minutes. Free trial: 7 days or 3,000 job-minutes, no card.
- Sign in with GitHub.
- Install the Skipbox app and choose "Only select repositories": the Skipbox CI app on an organization, Skipbox (personal) on your personal account. Nothing runs on Skipbox until you change a runs-on line.
- Read the bill and the fixed monthly amount, and print the block for your approval form.
Not an owner of the organization? GitHub sends your install request to its owners, and the next page gives you a message to send them.
Skipbox reads the repositories' names and their last 30 days of Actions runs. Each app also asks for one write permission, and Skipbox uses it only to add and remove runners: the organization app asks for Organization self-hosted runners (read and write), the personal app for Administration (read and write), which GitHub uses for a repository's runners and also for its settings, collaborators and deploy keys. Neither app asks for Contents, Workflows or Pull requests.

No install: read GitHub's usage report
If you can't install an app yet, GitHub's own usage report gives the bill by runner type and a matching Skipbox plan.
- On GitHub, open Billing & Licensing, then Usage (or Metered usage): for an organization, from its Settings sidebar; for your personal account, at github.com/settings/billing.
- Choose Get usage report, pick the Summarized usage report for the last month, and choose Email me the report. Open the link in GitHub's email within 24 hours to download the CSV.
- Choose the file below.
The file stays on your computer: this page reads it in your browser and never uploads it.
