Overview Page

The Savings Dashboard (Overview) is your central view of how much Pump has saved you. It shows total savings, savings over time, and breakdowns by service or account.

Reading your savings summary

The top of the dashboard displays your headline savings number. This represents the total amount Pump has saved you, calculated as the difference between what you would have paid at on-demand rates and what you actually paid with Pump's commitment management in place.

Key metrics on the dashboard:

Metric
What it shows

Commitments

Cumulative dollar amount saved since you joined Pump

Past savings

Savings through methods outside of Pump's services, such as previously held SPs/RIs and credits

Savings rate

Your savings as a percentage of total eligible spend

Saved with Pump

Savings attributed to Pump in the current billing period

Savings over time

The default timeline view shows your savings trend by month. Use this to track whether your savings are growing, stable, or declining as your usage changes.

A declining savings rate may indicate that your workload mix has shifted and your commitments need rebalancing. Review your pending recommendations in Commitments.

Savings by service and account

The breakdown view lets you see where your savings are concentrated:

Breakdown
What it shows

By service

Cloud services that generate the most savings, such as EC2, RDS, and Compute Engine.

By account

Savings distribution across cloud accounts. Use the graph's filter to select accounts.

More filters

Anomalies: Services with detected spend anomalies. Commitments: Services with additional commitment recommendations.

This helps you identify areas where you are well-optimized and areas where additional commitment coverage could capture more savings.

Understanding the numbers

A few things to keep in mind when reading the dashboard:

Savings reflect Pump-attributed optimization. The number includes savings from commitments that Pump recommended and executed, as well as savings from pre-existing commitments that Pump detected and is tracking.

Pump's fee is billed separately. The savings number on the dashboard is gross savings. If you are on the Enterprise tier, your Pump fee appears as a separate line item on your invoice, not as a deduction from savings.

Infrastructure Recommendations savings are tracked separately. If you apply an Infrastructure Recommendation (for example, downsizing an oversized EC2 instance), the resulting cost reduction appears in your overall cloud bill but is not rolled into the Commitment Planner savings number on this dashboard. You can view Infrastructure Recommendation impact on the Recommendations page.

Data freshness

Savings data refreshes as your cloud provider processes billing data. For most providers, this means a delay of up to 24 hours for the most recent data point. Historical data for the current month may adjust slightly as the cloud provider finalizes billing at month-end.

When you first connect, Pump backfills historical data so you can see your cost baseline. Backfill depth varies by provider:

Provider
Backfill depth

AWS

Up to 12 months

GCP

7 days (routine refresh)

Azure

Up to 90 days
