Really, if you are worrying about ongoing monthly costs with AWS, you might be better served with a different host. If you want to be billed at a monthly rate, you should think more about dedicated hardware. Unless you are spinning things up and down with some regularity (in response to demand), AWS is usually more expensive than a dedicated server. I think that only giving the hourly costs helps to reinforce this. (I say this not knowing anything about your particular setup...)
