Token cost calculator
Enter input and output tokens to see the exact cost per request and per month for each model you select.
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.
How token cost is calculated
Cost is billed per token, split into three rates: input (your prompt), cached input (a reused prefix, billed at a steep discount where supported), and output (what the model generates). Output usually costs three to five times more than input, so a short prompt with a long answer can cost more than a long prompt with a short answer.
FAQ
Why is output more expensive than input?
Generating tokens is more compute-intensive than reading them, so most providers price output several times higher than input. Capping max output tokens is one of the fastest ways to cut cost.
