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.

Counting tokens in plain text

For plain prose the count tracks closely with word count, about 1.33 tokens per word, but capitalization, punctuation and rare words all nudge it up. Pasting the actual text is the only way to be exact, because the same word count can tokenize differently depending on the specific words used.

FAQ

Does formatting affect the token count?

Yes. Extra spaces, line breaks and punctuation each cost tokens, so the same words formatted differently can produce different counts.
