+description: "Understand how enterprise post-paid billing works on Runpod."
+---
+
+Post-paid billing is Runpod's enterprise billing model. Instead of maintaining a prepaid credit balance, your usage is metered throughout the month and invoiced in arrears under a signed contract at your contracted rates.
+
+<Note>
+  Post-paid billing is available to enterprise customers only. To convert your account or discuss enterprise pricing, contact your Runpod account representative.
+</Note>
+
+## How it works
+
+1. Your resource usage is metered continuously via Runpod's billing system.
+2. At the end of each billing period, an invoice is generated at your contracted rates.
+3. Your account manager sends the invoice to your accounts payable team — invoices are not visible in the Runpod console.
+4. Payment is handled externally per your contract terms.
+
+## What changes in the console
+
+Post-paid accounts have a different console experience from prepaid accounts:
+
+| | Prepaid | Post-paid |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Account → Billing** | Visible — shows balance, transactions, payment methods | Hidden entirely |
+| **Balance** | Positive credit balance | Shows $0.00 |
+| **Payment methods** | Add/remove credit cards | Not available |
+| **Credit codes** | Can redeem | Not available |
+| **Autopay** | Available | Disabled |
+| **Savings plans** | Visible | Hidden |
+| **Cost Center** | Available | Primary billing surface |
+
+### Balance showing $0.00
+
+Post-paid accounts start at $0.00 and may go negative between invoice cycles. A negative balance is expected — it reflects unbilled usage that will appear on your next invoice. It does not indicate an error or trigger any service interruption.
+
+Post-paid accounts can run indefinitely with a negative balance. There are no low-balance warnings, no automatic suspensions, and no service interruptions triggered by balance alone.
+
+## What gets billed
+
+Post-paid billing covers **Secure Cloud resources only**. Community Cloud usage is excluded from enterprise invoices.
+
+| Resource | Billing dimension |
+|---|---|
+| **GPU Pods** | 18 GPU types individually priced; billed while running and idle |
+| **Serverless** | 10 memory tiers; active workers and flex workers are separate line items |
+| **Instant Clusters** | 5 GPU types |
+| **Storage** | Volume, container disk, network volume under 1 TB, network volume over 1 TB |
+| **CPU Pods** | Billed while running and idle |
+
+## Contract types
+
+Enterprise customers are billed at contracted rates, not retail prices. Three contract structures are available:
+
+**Standard savings plan** — Fixed duration and terms with a discounted rate applied automatically across your usage.
+
+**Custom savings plan** — Sales-configured commitment, duration, and discount negotiated per customer.
+
+**Reserved + burst** — A fixed GPU count at a negotiated rate, with burst capacity available on top when needed.
+
+Contact your account representative to discuss which contract structure fits your workload.
+
+## Cost centers
+
+Cost Center is the primary billing surface for post-paid accounts. Use cost center labels to attribute spend across teams, projects, or departments and view usage breakdowns in Billing Explorer.
+
+All org members can view their own usage in Billing Explorer. Org admins can view usage for any individual member.
+
+See [Cost centers](/accounts-billing/cost-centers) for setup instructions.
+
+## Invoicing
+
+Invoices are managed by your Runpod account manager and sent to your accounts payable team externally — they are not accessible inside the Runpod console. For invoice questions, billing disputes, or changes to your contract, contact your account representative directly.
