# Storage and billing

## How storage is billed [#how-storage-is-billed]

* Each organization gets an amount of storage included. Above it, storage is billed per GB each month.
* Storage is the size of the image layers you push. A multi-platform image counts each platform's
  layers once.
* [Vulnerability scanning](/en/developer-tools/container-registry/vulnerability-scanning) is billed
  separately.

The **Storage** figure on the **Container Registry** page shows what you use, the included amount, and
this month's cost. See your price list in the console for current prices.

## Keep storage down [#keep-storage-down]

* Add [retention rules](/en/developer-tools/container-registry/repository-settings#retention-rules) to
  delete old and untagged images automatically.
* Delete tags and repositories you no longer need.
* Untagged layers are removed by garbage collection every 7 days, so freed space shows up within a
  week.
