# CostEstimate

Set `CostEstimate` to `True` to return an estimate of the cost of running a query with the specified Text. You can use this parameter only when you set QueryAnalysis to `True`.

The cost estimate value is a unitless number that represents an estimate of the cost.

The `<autn:costestimate>` tag also includes the following attributes:

- minloop and maxloop. The minimum and maximum number of documents that the Content component must read for the query.
- indexkb. The amount of data (in KB) that Content must read from disk for the query.
