Your Google Fi billing cycle
You’ll receive a copy of your monthly billing statement via email when it becomes available. The statement will also be available in the Google Fi app and on the website.
Learn how to find and understand your bill with a step-by-step guide.
When to expect your monthly statement
In most cases, your billing cycle is set on the day you activate your service plus two days. So if your service started on June 4th, your first billing cycle will end on July 6th, your next on August 6th, and so on.
However, if that date (activation plus two days) falls on the 1st, 28th, 29th, 30th, or 31st of any month, your billing cycle will be set to the 2nd of the month. For example, if you start your service on June 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, or 30th, your first billing cycle will end on July 2nd, your next on August 2nd, and so on.
You’ll receive your statement via email two days after the end of each billing cycle. You can see the statement in the Google Fi app or on the website as soon as the billing cycle ends. It’ll be marked “Preview – still finalizing” until you get the email.
How your bill gets paid
Your bill is automatically charged to the primary credit or debit card on your account 10 days after your monthly statement becomes available. Automatic payment is required for Google Fi.
