How it Works

The calculator uses vendor pricing per 1 million tokens. It multiplies your input token estimate by the model input rate and your output token estimate by the model output rate, then adds both values for the total request cost.

Token Estimation Guide

Rough conversion only. Actual tokenization varies by language, punctuation, and formatting.
