 Azure savings plan for compute is our most flexible savings plan. It lets you save up to 65 percent on pay-as-you-go prices and applies to a broad range of compute services across subscriptions, resource groups, management groups, or entire Azure accounts. You select an hourly compute commitment for a one-year or three-year term. The longer the commitment, the more savings you earn. You can pay monthly for no additional cost, and Azure automatically applies the largest savings to your account.

 #### Azure savings plan purchases
 
-For [Azure Savings plan](../savings-plan/savings-plan-compute-overview.md) purchases, in some situations, indirect EA end customers could see minor variances in their utilization percentage when they view their [cost reports](../savings-plan/utilization-cost-reports.md) in Cost Management. Actual purchase and usage charges are always computed in partner prices and not in customer prices (for example, with markup). Subsequent markdown and uplift could result in floating point numbers exceeding eight decimal point precision. Azure rounds calculations to eight decimal precision, which can cause minor variances in the utilization numbers for end customers.

 Savings plan purchase recommendations are calculated by analyzing your hourly pay-as-you-go usage and cost data. Recommendations are generated for the selected savings plan term (1- or 3-years), [benefit scope](scope-savings-plan.md) (shared, subscription), and look back period (7-, 30-, or 60-days). Azure calculates your potential savings by simulating the total costs you would have under a savings plan. It examines each combination of term, benefit scope, and look back period. It then compares these simulated costs with the actual pay-as-you-go costs you incurred. The commitment amount that returns the greatest savings for each term, benefit scope, and look back period combination is highlighted. To learn more about how recommendations are generated, see [How savings plan recommendations are generated](purchase-recommendations.md#how-savings-plan-recommendations-are-generated).
 
-Some compute products can benefit from both savings plans and reservations. If you buy either a savings plan or a reservation, allow at least 7 days for recommendation systems to update and reflect your purchase before considering the other option. Avoid purchasing both products at the same time to ensure recommendations are accurate and to maximize your savings.
