# Get total estimated cost for the year

`GET /api/v1/databricks/cost/total/estimate`

Get total estimated cost for the period (actual + projected).

Returns the grand total plus a per-segment breakdown for the requested
``category``. Used for Future State total cost display.

## Query parameters

- `start_date` string, date, required — Start date (typically start of year)
- `end_date` string, date, required — End date (typically end of year)
- `workspace_id` string, nullable — Filter by workspace ID
- `category` 'total' | 'clusters' | 'sql_warehouse' | 'ai_ml' | 'lakehouse' | 'platform' — Spec-group category identifier shared across the cost APIs. Used by: * ``GET /cost/trends/by-product?category=<value>`` — selects which products get filtered in and how each row's segment label is computed. * ``GET /cost/overview`` — each ``category_breakdown`` item carries one of these values. See ``CATEGORY_DEFINITIONS`` in ``app.service.databricks.cost_constants`` for the per-category filter list, segment label expression, and canonical legend order.
- `navigationSource` string, nullable
