About Resource Request / Limit Calculator

The Resource Request / Limit Calculator reads a Pod or Deployment manifest and works out the CPU and memory requests and limits per pod, then scales them by the replica count to give totals.

It normalises CPU to cores and memory to Mi so the numbers are easy to reason about when planning node capacity.

Nothing is uploaded. The calculation runs entirely in your browser.

Features

  • Per-pod totals - summed across all containers.
  • Replica scaling - multiplies by spec.replicas.
  • Normalised units - cores and Mi.
  • Copy / Download / Print - export the result.

How to Use

  1. Paste a Pod or Deployment.
  2. Optionally set replicas.
  3. Click Calculate.

Examples

Example 1 - single pod. 100m/200m CPU and 256Mi/512Mi memory.

Example 2 - scaled. 3 replicas => 0.3 cores request total, 768Mi memory request total.

Benefits

  • Capacity planning - see real totals.
  • Unit clarity - cores and Mi.
  • Private - runs fully in the browser.
  • Exportable - copy, download or print.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this calculator do?
It sums the CPU and memory requests and limits of all containers in a Pod or Deployment and multiplies by the replica count to show totals.
Where does the replica count come from?
From spec.replicas of the manifest, or from the optional replicas override field.
How are units handled?
CPU is normalised to cores (millicores divided by 1000). Memory is normalised to mebibytes (Mi).
Does this connect to a cluster?
No. Paste your YAML; everything is computed in your browser.
Why plan requests and limits?
Knowing per-pod and total resource needs helps size nodes and set sensible Horizontal Pod Autoscaler targets.
