# Billing & Payment

Organization administrators manage billing addresses and payment methods in the organization settings. Keep your billing information current to ensure uninterrupted service.

## Update Billing Information

1. Click **Hi, \<username>** in the top-right corner
2. Select **Manage \<organization>**
3. Open the **Billing** tab
4. Click **Billing details**
5. Update your billing address or payment method

## Payment Methods

Valohai accepts major credit cards for payment. Update your card information anytime without service interruption.

When changing payment methods:

* New card is validated immediately
* Old card remains active until validation succeeds
* Failed validations preserve your current payment method

## Billing Cycles

Billing occurs monthly based on your usage:

* **Compute costs:** Machine hours across all environments (cloud instances, on-premises allocations)
* **Storage costs:** Data stored in Valohai-managed stores
* **Platform fees:** Base subscription costs (if applicable)

Invoices are available in the **Billing** tab after each billing period.

## View Usage and Costs

Track spending in the **Billing** tab:

* **Current month:** Running total of costs before the billing cycle closes
* **Past invoices:** Historical bills with detailed breakdowns
* **Usage by project:** See which projects consume the most resources

Use [Productivity Dashboard](/observability/productivity-dashboard.md) to analyze resource usage patterns and identify optimization opportunities.

## Billing Contacts

Add multiple email addresses to receive invoices:

1. Go to **Billing** tab
2. Click **Billing contacts**
3. Add email addresses for accounting or finance teams
4. Save changes

All listed contacts receive invoice emails automatically.
