After 10 years of building on AWS infra I still had no idea what anything would cost. At some point it just became clear to me that they intentionally designed it this way and that complexity is the feature. I switched to digital ocean last year and really haven't had to think about infrastructure again.
Just a note I thought i'd add, they actually have your estimated next months bill on the upper right hand corner of the page at all times.
