This function should either return a formatted currency with either two digits (e.g. n is 4.1) or zero digits (e.g. n is 4).

| ### Standard V3 plan | ||
|
|
||
| The Standard V3 plan is an upgraded, purpose-built solution for modern enterprises looking to simplify application traffic management and scale workloads effortlessly. This improved plan offers a [99.95% uptime SLA](https://www.f5.com/pdf/customer-support/eusa-sla.pdf), high availability through active-active deployments, redundancy, lossless rolling upgrades, and dynamic autoscaling capabilities to optimize both performance and cost. | ||
|
|
||
| The Standard V3 plan introduces dynamic autoscaling that ensures consumption pricing - customers pay only for what they use. Each NGINX Capacity Unit (NCU) delivers 2.2 Mbps bandwidth and 3,000 connections, providing unmatched flexibility and scalability to suit diverse workloads. | ||
|
|
||
| The Standard V3 pricing model is designed to optimize efficiency and transparency: customers benefit from an affordable fixed price per deployment ($0.25/hour) that covers baseline overhead, while NCU usage ($0.008/hour/unit) and data processing ($0.005/GB) allow costs to scale precisely with demand. NGINXaaS is a consumption-based service, metered hourly, and billed monthly in NGINX Capacity Units (NCUs). | ||
|
|
||
| The SKU for the Standard V3 pricing plan is `standardv3_Monthly`. | ||
|
|
||
| The Standard V3 plan allows for optional Web Application Firewall (WAF) configuration and a higher number of listen ports, offering enhanced security and connectivity options for enterprise applications. | ||

lets run this by Sundar and check if he is okay with this description. I would rephrase this to make it more human written.

I took this description from this confluence doc. I will check with sundar on this.

Proposal looks good to me |
| * Total: `40 NCU·hour * $0.03/NCU/hour = $1.20`. | ||
| * Fixed deployment cost: `2 hours * $0.25/hour = $0.50` | ||
| * NCU usage cost: `40 NCU·hour * $0.008/NCU/hour = $0.32` | ||
| * Data processing cost: `1 GB * $0.0096/GB = $0.005` |

The math looks wrong for data processing cost, or I don't quite understand it.

Yes, I forgot replacing $0.0096 with $0.005.
The correct value updated is : Data processing cost: 1 GB * $0.005/GB = $0.005``
|
I couldn't get the calculator to work. Should I be able to in preview? |
Yes, in preview mode calculator doesn't work. I confirmed from docs team too but it works well in prod. The only way to look at it is in local for now. |

This allows costs to scale precisely with demand. |

We need to also add the Developer plan. Instead of creating a separate entry for developer. I would just replace basic with developer everywhere.
