<p>DigitalOcean billing cycles are monthly. Your balance accrues over the course of the calendar month based on <a href="https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing">the cost of the resources you use</a>. We are also required by law to apply <a href="/platform/billing/taxes/">taxes</a> for certain countries.</p>
<p>We automatically <a href="/platform/billing/invoices/">invoice</a> and charge your team&rsquo;s or organization&rsquo;s primary <a href="/platform/billing/manage-payment-methods/">payment method</a> on the first day of each month for the previous month&rsquo;s usage, or partway through the month when your balance reaches your tier&rsquo;s <a href="/platform/billing/pay-bills/#payment-methods-and-due-dates">auto-charge amount</a>.</p>
<p>For consolidated billing, payment, and invoicing, you can group related teams into an <a href="/platform/organizations/">organization</a>, and view detailed spend breakdowns by team.</p>
