Hello Ankush Gurjar.
Secondary active geo-replication databases are priced at 100 percent of primary database prices.
So In essence, for Replicated Databases, you can calculate these costs as the same as the primary database in Azure pricing calculator
Please let me know if you have further questions

Hello @akinbade abiola
Thanks for the quick answer, you means to say geo replication cost is same as current cost, means whatever we are currently paying will be same of geo replication?
Regards
Hello thanks yes,
Secondary active geo-replication databases are priced at 100 percent of primary database prices. Also note that The cost of geo-replication traffic between the primary and the online secondary is included in the cost of the online secondary.
If the secondary is configured with a different backup storage redundancy, then after a geo-failover, when the geo-secondary is promoted to the primary, new backups will be stored and billed according to the type of storage (RA-GRS, ZRS, LRS) selected on the new primary (previous secondary).
This is documented in Learn documents here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/active-geo-replication-overview?view=azuresql
