[GM] RIPE NCC Charging Scheme Calculator in LIR Portal
by Fergal Cunningham 23 Apr '26

23 Apr '26

Dear RIPE NCC members, To make it easier for you to assess your potential fees based on the charging scheme options that members will vote on at the General Meeting (GM) on 20 May, we have incorporated the charging scheme calculator in the LIR Portal. This version of the calculator will automatically fill in the resources connected to your LIR account and provide the estimated fee you would pay under the one LIR account-one fee model (Option A) and the category model (Option B). The calculator is available when you log in to your LIR account and select “Calculate Your 2027 Invoice” at: https://my.ripe.net/#/billing If you are a contact for more than one LIR account, you can select the account you want to check from the drop-down menu and the calculator will provide the result for that account. The web-based calculator that you can use to input different resource combinations remains available at: https://pricing.ripe.net/ Note: These calculators are intended to support members in their decision-making when voting on one of the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2027 models proposed by the RIPE NCC Executive Board. The fees indicated in the calculators are based on the current data in LIR accounts, or by manual input from the user. The actual fees per LIR account will be determined based on LIR account data gathered on 31 December 2026. While you are logged into the portal, you can register quickly and easily for the GM, where members will vote to decide on the charging scheme that will be implemented for 2027: https://my.ripe.net/#/meetings/active Kind regards, Fergal Cunningham Head of Membership Engagement RIPE NCC
