Cloud costs are found in the 'Transition Planning' category, which is under the 'Migration Plan' tab. The fields of note here are 'Forecasted Cost (Annually)' which is your estimated rehost cost, and 'Estimated Migration Cost', which is used as you might imagine. Note that this migration cost is critical for calculations such as return on investment (ROI) and break-even point, and as noted earlier, this is included in your application's first year of cloud costs when visualized in time-series graphs.

Do you have a cost which is not covered by existing fields? Maybe you pay a license cost for this app, for example. That's easy to add, simply navigate to settings -> fields and create a new custom field by clicking the '+ New' button. The category you choose for this field determines whether it is a current or a cloud cost. For a current cost, select the 'Financial' category, and for a cloud cost, select the 'Transition Planning' category. You can also set a financial classification at this point as described [here](#financial-classification). The appropriate classification in this example would be 'License'.

Part of building your cloud migration business case is comparing and contrasting different [6R](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/enterprise-strategy/6-strategies-for-migrating-applications-to-the-cloud/) approaches to cloud migration. Tidal Accelerator's financial impact report includes a visual comparing the ROI of different possible migration strategies (also known as transition types). This can be found in the application drill-down under 'Recommendation Details'. To populate this, on the application record under 'Transition Planning' you will find the following fields; 'Repurchase Cost', 'Replatform Cost' and 'Transformative Cost'.
