Hello.
No charges will be incurred for EC2 that is stopped.
However, Elasitc IP and EBS attached to EC2 will incur charges.

The following costs are associated with stopping and starting an instance.

Stopping — As soon as the state of an instance changes to shutting-down or terminated, charges are no longer incurred for the instance. You are not charged for usage or data transfer fees for a stopped instance. Charges are incurred to store Amazon EBS storage volumes.

Starting — Each time you start a stopped instance, you are charged for a minimum of one minute of usage. After one minute, you are charged for only the seconds you use. For example, if you run an instance for 20 seconds and then stop it, you are charged for a minute of usage. If you run an instance for 3 minutes and 40 seconds, you are charged for 3 minutes and 40 seconds of usage.
