Data Center Cost Calculator: Price Any Build, Anywhere in Canada or the US

Secure checkout by Stripe. The AI Build Configurator runs on your own website under your brand; Enterprise is quoted — compare all tiers.

This is the AI Build Configurator itself, running live on the page under a demo licence. Choose a build type, any Canadian province or US state, cooling and accelerator class, and it recalculates capital cost by line item, annual energy cost, revenue, EBITDA and payback as you go.

Data Center Cost Calculator

The Live Data Center Cost Calculator

Start with the build type tabs, then adjust IT load, rack density, cooling, accelerator class and location. Figures switch to US dollars, with state sales tax and large-load tariff rules applied, when you pick a US state.

Planning-grade estimates built on published 2026 benchmarks. Not an engineering quote or financial advice.

What you choose: build type, load, density, cooling, GPUs, location, rate What you get: CapEx by line, energy, revenue, payback

How the Calculator Works

Five steps to a price: load, cooling, location, revenue, result Planning-grade: published benchmarks and regional power data
  1. Load and density set the number of racks and, for AI builds, the number of accelerators.
  2. Cooling sets the PUE (1.06 to 1.40) and the cooling capital cost.
  3. Location applies the construction cost factor, power rate, sales tax and any large-load minimum-take floor.
  4. Revenue uses contract rent per kW-month, GPU hours or hosting rates by build type.
  5. The model returns CapEx, OpEx, EBITDA and simple payback.

The same engine powers our focused tools: the power cost calculator, cooling cost calculator, capital cost calculator and TCO calculator.
