Currently, I do not see any service or category filter for doing the cost analysis specific to Windows licensing in Azure Portal. It is usually included in the cost of VM, but is there any way we can get the details of windows licensing cost which is being considered or calculate it?

    Hi Rupesh,

    You can find the separate window licensing cost in Azure pricing calculator, there from you can segregate the compute cost like Compute Cost = Total Cost - Licensing cost.

    For example, Below, I choose the SQL Server Windows VM in pricing calculator and there is pricing segregation Microsoft provide.
