# How Am I Billed for My Servers?

Vultr bills all servers on an hourly basis. The billing model varies slightly based on the product type:

* **GPU Instances:** Billed up to 730 hours per month, aligned with the industry-standard monthly cap.
* **All Other Server Types (including Cloud Compute, Optimized Cloud Compute, Bare Metal):** Billed up to 672 hours per month.

The **minimum billing unit is one hour**, and hourly charges begin when a server is deployed, regardless of whether it is powered on or off. Servers that are **stopped but not destroyed** continue to incur hourly charges for reserved resources such as compute, storage, and IP address allocations.

Invoices are generated on the **1st of each month**, reflecting the total accrued charges for the previous billing period.

>[!NOTE]
>To stop billing for a server, you must destroy it from your account. Stopping a server does not suspend billing.
