API cost calculator
Plan your API budget by entering tokens per call and calls per month for each model.
Token count uses the exact GPT (o200k) tokenizer. Counted in your browser, never uploaded.
| Model | Tokens | Per request | Monthly | Context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Qwen3.8 Max | 0 est. | $0.0030 | $3.00 | 0.1% |
| DeepSeek V4 Flashcheapest | 0 est. | $0.00014 | $0.14 | 0.1% |
| Claude Opus 5 | 0 est. | $0.013 | $12.50 | 0.1% |
Token counts vary by tokenizer and model; non-OpenAI counts are estimates. Cost is an estimate and provider pricing can change. See each model's source on the pricing page.
From one call to a monthly budget
API cost scales with call volume, so a request that costs a fraction of a cent becomes real money at thousands of calls per day. Estimate tokens for a typical call, set your monthly volume, and the calculator projects the bill so you can budget before you ship.
FAQ
Does the API cost include rate limits?
No. This estimates token cost only. Rate limits and tier quotas affect throughput, not the per-token price, and are set by each provider.
