 ## Billing
 
-Note that on your Billing summary, you may see mention of `Billed minutes` vs `Elasped minutes`. `Elapsed minutes` is wall time spent executing your Jobs, `Billed minutes` applies the multiple based on CPU count requested. What you pay is the total minutes minus the included minutes of your Plan. Your billed minutes will exceed your elapsed minutes if you use Runner types that are above the 1x multiplier.
+Note that on your Billing summary, costs are broken down by `Billed minutes` and `Elapsed minutes`. `Elapsed minutes` is the wall time spent executing your Jobs, `Billed minutes` multiples the `Minutes multiplier` (from the table above) to the Elapsed minutes.

+Therefore, you will burn `Billed minutes` faster based on the size of the `Minutes multiplier`. Finally, what you pay is the total `Billed minutes` minus the included minutes of your Plan.
