# Billing

Any administrator of an organization or institution can view and manage billing on the **Billing** tab of the administrator panel.

## Configure billing

To set up up billing, navigate to the **License and payment** tab. You can enter a credit card or contact us to change to invoiced billing.

To enable billing, provide the relevant information as well as an email address to send invoices. Your organization will automatically be billed on the first of every month.

## Viewing and paying invoices

You can view current and past invoices on the **Invoices** tab. You can click on any of the listed invoices to view itemized details and make any necessary payments and download a PDF.

Invoices tied to a credit card will be automatically marked as paid. If your organization has opted for invoiced billing, you must manually pay these invoices within 30 days. Click on the invoice item and follow the instructions for remitting payment.

## Understanding usage costs

### Usage costs chart

The billing overview displays a chart of [usage costs](https://docs.redivis.com/billing#usage-fees) for your organization.

This chart can be filtered by dataset (and dataset label), and shifted to different temporal ranges to view historic information and future projections.

### Free tier

Your organization will be granted between 10GB and 1TB of free storage, depending on the license level. For many organizations, they'll never exceed this limit, and won't need to manage storage-related costs.

In order to exceed the free storage limit, your organization will need to configure billing. The free tier will still be taken into account when computing the bill — your organization will only be charged for storage above the free tier.

This free tier will be reflected as a discount in your monthly bill.

### Institution subsidy

If your organization is part of an [institution](https://docs.redivis.com/reference/institutions), your institution may choose to subsidize some, or all, of your monthly usage costs. If this is the case, any subsidy will be deducted from your monthly bill, though the usage chart will still show the total incurred costs (alongside the institution subsidy), so that you can have a full sense of your organization's costs.

## Pre-purchase credits

In some circumstances, it may be helpful to pre-purchase account credits for your organization, which will then be applied to future invoices. To do so, navigate to the billing **License and payment** tab, and click the "Purchase credits" button at the bottom. You can either purchase credits directly via credit card or bank transfer, or issue an invoice that, once paid, will post the credits to your account.

These credits will automatically be applied to future invoices until they are depleted. Account credits never expire, and can be refunded at any time.
