-### Examples of cost calculations with varying coolness periods
+## Calculate your savings
 
-This section shows you examples of storage and network transfer costs with varying coolness periods.
+Calculate your savings from cool access in the [Azure NetApp Files effective price estimator](https://aka.ms/anfcoolaccesscalc).
 
-In these examples, assume that:
-
-* The hot tier storage cost is $0.000202/GiB/hr. The cool tier storage cost is $0.000082/GiB/hr.
-* Network transfer cost (including read or write activities from the cool tier) is $0.020000/GiB.
-* A 5-TiB capacity pool with cool access is enabled.
-* One TiB of unallocated capacity is within the capacity pool.
-* A 4-TiB volume is enabled for cool access.
-* After the coolness period, 3 TiB of the 4 TiB is moved to the cool tier.
-* Each month, you read or write 20% of data from the cool tier.
-* Each month is 30 days or 730 hours. So each day is 730/30 hours.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
->
-> * Use these calculations only as a reference estimate and not for validating the exact bill amount.
-> * The rates considered in the examples are for an example region and might be different for your intended region of deployment.
-> * If data is read from or written to the cool tier, it causes the percentage of data distribution in the hot tier and cool tier to change. The calculations in this article demonstrate initial percentage distribution in the hot and cool tiers, and not after the 20% of data was moved to or from the cool tier.
-
-The following examples include 1 TiB of unallocated space in the capacity pool to show how unallocated space is charged when cool access is enabled. To maximize your savings, the capacity pool size should be reduced to eliminate unallocated pool capacity.
