# Navigate to the billing dashboard

The Grafana Cloud billing dashboard is your central hub for understanding usage and costs across all stacks. It shows cost estimates on stat panels, explanatory text panels describing billing calculations, and time series panels displaying billable usage for the current month. You can expand rows for each product type to see more detailed information.

1. Sign in to your Grafana Cloud environment, for example `mystack.grafana.net`.
2. Open the navigation menu and click **Dashboards**.
3. In the dashboards browser, open the **GrafanaCloud** folder.
4. Click the **Billing/Usage** dashboard.

The dashboard opens displaying your current month’s usage and cost information in the **Billing Usage Overview** row.

- The first dashboard panel shows the total billable usage estimated for the month.
- The second dashboard panel provides a breakdown of the projected cost per product.
- The third dashboard panel provides links to documentation and FAQs that help you to better understand billable usage costs.

The dashboard duration is set to `This month so far` by default. You can use the time picker at the top right to select different time ranges. Selecting `Previous month` is often more useful than `last 30 days` to align with billing cycles.

In the next milestone, you’ll learn how to identify which services contribute most to your monthly costs.
