All compute resources are billable unless they are in any of the following states:

Therefore, instances in SHUTOFF state are still billable. This is because the instance's compute resources are reserved on the hypervisor.

Routers connected to the external network will have 1 IP address which is always billable. 

Additionally, Floating IP addresses allocated to your project are always billable whether they are attached to an instance or not. You need to disassociate it the IP from the instance and then release from the project to not be billed.

Storage is always billable.
