# Billing for Residential Proxies

> Residential proxies work on a one-time payment model.   When you purchase a package, you receive a set amount of bandwidth (measured in gigabytes).  

## How Billing Works

Every request you send through a Residential proxy consumes bandwidth.  Bandwidth is deducted **per byte of traffic** — both download and upload count.  \
Once your bandwidth is used up, the plan expires, and you’ll need to purchase a new package.

## Checking Usage

In the **Dashboard → Residential**, you’ll always see:

* Remaining GB
* GB already consumed
* Percentage used

This makes it easy to know when to top up.

## Example

If you purchase a **10 GB package** and scrape a website that loads 1 MB per page:

* Each page consumes \~1 MB of your plan.
* 10 GB = \~10,000 pages loaded.

<Tip>
  For recurring projects where you know your traffic volume, consider buying larger Residential packages to reduce interruptions, contact us for that.
