VUH Calculator
Estimate the Virtual User Hours your load tests will need
Load testing on BrowserStack is measured in Virtual User Hours (VUH) — the number of virtual users a test runs, multiplied by how long it runs and how often you run it. Both API load tests and browser-based load tests draw from the same VUH pool, so a single number covers your entire testing programme. Read more to understand how VUH is calculated and what counts towards your usage.
Use this calculator to estimate the VUH you need across all your workloads. Add a workload for each test you run, enter the virtual users, duration and frequency, and the calculator shows your annual VUH.
API VUs
The number of virtual users generating API traffic in a single run.
Browser VUs
The number of virtual users running real browser sessions in a single run.
Duration & Frequency
How long each run takes, and how often you run it in a year. Runs shorter than 5 minutes are billed as 5 minutes.
