Cost Allocation

Know Which Teams Cost How Much

Automated cost attribution without the tagging nightmare. Map costs to teams, services, and environments effortlessly.

Cost allocation by team using virtual tags in Cloptima
Allocate spend to teams and business dimensions — derived from source tags and K8s labels, no infra changes.
Why it's hard

You shouldn't need perfect tags to know what each team costs.

Tagging cleanup is the project that never finishes — and showback stalls waiting for it. Cloptima derives business dimensions (team, app, environment, owner, cost center) from the source tags and Kubernetes labels you already have, without changing anything in your cloud. Every allocation is previewable and explainable, so it survives a FinOps review instead of becoming a black box.

  • Virtual tags built from existing tags and K8s labels — no infra changes
  • Explainable matches: see exactly why a resource mapped to a team
  • Shared costs (platform, network, monitoring, CI/CD) split fairly
  • Start with showback, move to chargeback once ownership is trusted

Team Attribution

Map namespaces, accounts, and resources to teams. See exactly which engineering teams consume the most — and track their optimization progress.

Virtual Tagging

Retroactively tag resources that were deployed without tags. Use rules to automatically assign costs based on naming conventions, namespaces, or resource metadata.

Showback & Chargeback

Generate cost reports per team for internal billing. Support both showback (visibility) and chargeback (billing) models with configurable allocation rules.

Shared Cost Allocation

Allocate shared infrastructure costs (networking, monitoring, databases) proportionally across teams based on usage, headcount, or custom weights.
