Azure Billing related issue

To estimate your expected Azure SQL Database costs for the next billing cycle, you need to consider the following factors:

1. Number of Databases: Since you now have two databases, each will incur its own charges based on the service tier and configuration.
2. Service Tier: If the new database is provisioned on a higher service tier than the previous one, this will increase your costs. Azure SQL Database charges are based on the selected service tier (Basic, Standard, Premium, etc.) and the compute resources allocated.
3. Continuous Running: Both databases running continuously (24×7) will result in charges for compute resources for the entire month.
4. Backup and Storage Costs: Additional costs may also arise from backup storage and any additional storage used beyond the initial allocation provided in the DTU purchasing model.

To calculate the expected rent for the next billing cycle, you can use the Azure pricing calculator to input the configurations for both databases, including their service tiers and any additional storage requirements. This will give you a clearer estimate of your total monthly charges.

We can't say what your cost will be - we don't know what tier that other database is in. But each database is charged independently, yes.

To see the cost of your database, go to the home page in the portal, and then select your subscription. On this blade, select Cost Management from the TOC to the left. Here you can find out how your cost is distributed over various resources.
