I am sorry to have to argue, but the multi-region writes are calculated N + 1, where N is the number of regions. So it would actually set you back $17520 [0]. And yes, I know that even their own documentation and calculator conflict on this, but they do charge the higher number.

Hi, I am from Azure Cosmos DB Engineering Team.

We are in the process of updating the Azure pricing calculator to provide various options (e.g., # of regions, single vs. multi-master, etc.). The updates to the calculator are coming shortly.

In the meantime, please feel free to ping us at [email protected], if you need any help with cost estimates or have any questions.
