# Savings Breakdown Metrics

What every number on the Savings Breakdown page means: the Total Savings Overview and the Savings by Commitment Type section.

This page defines the metrics shown on Savings Breakdown, where Archera reports realized savings compared to On-Demand pricing (Pay-as-you-go on Azure).

***

## Total Savings Overview

**What it is:** Your total savings achieved through all commitments, adjusted for Guaranteed Commitment Premiums, and compared to the On-Demand rates (Pay-as-you-go on Azure) for the infrastructure and services covered by your commitments.

Unlike the [Monthly Savings](/help-center/metrics-and-definitions/commitment-planner-metrics.md#monthly-savings) projection on the Commitment Planner, this is a **realized, historical** figure. It reflects what actually happened, not a 100%-utilization projection.

**Premiums are already netted out.** This figure is reported *after* Guaranteed Commitment Premiums are deducted, so you do not need to subtract them yourself. To see the premium amounts on their own, enable the toggle described under [Savings by Commitment Type](#savings-by-commitment-type).

***

## Savings by Commitment Type

Each service card in this section breaks out savings by commitment type. An optional toggle, **Show Archera Guaranteed Commitment Premiums**, adds a line item to each service card showing the premium amount for that service.

### Guaranteed Commitment Premiums Line Item

**Shown in the product as:** Archera Guaranteed Commitment Premiums (previously labeled "Archera GRI Premiums")

**What it is:** The premium portion of savings for Guaranteed Commitments in that service, shown separately when the toggle above is enabled.

For what a premium is and how it's calculated, see [Premiums and Term Lengths](/help-center/guaranteed-commitments/premiums-and-terms.md). This line item displays that same premium, scoped to one service card.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.archera.ai/help-center/metrics-and-definitions/savings-breakdown-metrics.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
