Microsoft Fabric
Capacity & SKU Estimator
Tell us about your workloads and data estate — get your recommended Microsoft Fabric capacity (F-SKU), monthly cost comparison, and the flags most organisations miss before committing to capacity.
Your user base and model sizes are often the primary SKU driver — the memory floor set by your largest semantic model is frequently the deciding constraint.
Pipelines, Dataflow Gen2, and notebooks consume CUs in the background — often more than the reporting layer on heavier workloads.
Select the Fabric workloads you plan to run. Each adds CU consumption above the Power BI and pipeline baseline.
Uptime schedule, billing preference, region, and migration status shape your real-world SKU cost — often more than raw CU numbers alone.
Enter your details to unlock your recommended SKU, monthly cost breakdown, and the flags specific to your workload.
