Cost/request = input/1M×inputPrice + cached/1M×cachedPrice + output/1M×outputPrice; Cost/day = cost/request×requests; Month = day×30; Year = day×365

How does this work?

AI pricing is per million tokens, separate for input, cached input and output. Output is typically 2-5× input price. Cached input is cheaper (often 10%). Multiply tokens by price to get cost per request, then by requests per day for daily/monthly/yearly.

All model pricing is user-editable so the calculator stays correct when providers change prices. Enter current pricing from provider docs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google).

Quick Answer

AI Token Cost Calculator: Calculate AI token costs per request, day, month and year — editable pricing per 1M tokens for any model. Formula: Cost/request = input/1M×inputPrice + cached/1M×cachedPrice + output/1M×outputPrice. Example: 2,000 input at $5/1M = $0.

How to Use This Calculator

1Enter input, output and cached tokens per request, and price per 1M for each.
2Set requests per day to scale to daily, monthly and yearly.
3Compare models by duplicating with different prices (e.g., GPT-4o vs Claude).

Formula Used

Cost/request = input/1M×inputPrice + cached/1M×cachedPrice + output/1M×outputPrice; Cost/day = cost/request×requests; Month = day×30; Year = day×365

Worked Example

2,000 input at $5/1M = $0.01, 500 output at $15/1M = $0.0075, total $0.0175 per request. At 1,000 requests/day = $17.50/day, $525/month, $6,387/year. With 1,000 cached at $0.50/1M, save $0.0045 per request.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is a token?

~4 characters or 0.75 words. 1,000 tokens is about 750 words.

QWhy is output more expensive?

Output requires generation, more compute. Input is just encoding.

QWhat is cached input?

Prompt caching reuses prefix — 90% cheaper. Anthropic and OpenAI offer it for repeated system prompts.

QHow to compare models?

Run calculator twice with different prices (e.g., GPT-4o $5/$15 vs Claude $3/$15) to see cost difference for same tokens.

Formula Used

Cost/request = input/1M×inputPrice + cached/1M×cachedPrice + output/1M×outputPrice; Cost/day = cost/request×requests; Month = day×30; Year = day×365
