As of today, you need to calculate the actual, realized savings yourself based on amortized data (e.g. as part of a custom report in PowerBI). The formula looks like this: (UnitPrice – EffectivePrice) * Quantity
See:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/reservations/calculate-ea-reservations-savings
You can use the PBI reports provided in the FinOps Toolkit. They include this calculation. See https://microsoft.github.io/finops-toolkit/power-bi
Regarding the Coverage: You can easily create such a report in Azure Cost Management by selecting the Amortized Data set, group by "Pricing Model" and filter e.g. on "Virtual Machine" Meter Category:
