AI Token Cost Estimator: Price a Call Before You Run It
A long document in and a long answer out can cost more than expected. Estimating from token counts and current prices keeps that surprise away.
What is the AI Token Cost Estimator?
Enter input and output token counts plus the price per million tokens for each, and the tool estimates the total cost. Prices change often and vary by provider, so this is a labelled estimate: check the current price list for the model you actually use before budgeting.
How to use it
- Enter input and output token counts.
- Enter the price per million tokens for each.
- Click Estimate Token Cost and check current provider prices before budgeting.
Worked example
With 50,000 input tokens at $3 per million and 10,000 output tokens at $15 per million, input cost is $0.15, output cost is $0.15, and the estimated total is $0.30.
What does 50,000 input and 10,000 output tokens cost at $3 and $15 per million?
About $0.30 in total: $0.15 for input and $0.15 for output, as an estimate at those prices.
Frequently asked questions
Are these prices current?
No. Prices change by provider and model, so enter the current price from the provider price list for an up-to-date estimate.
Why are input and output priced separately?
Most providers charge different rates for tokens sent in and tokens generated, and output tokens usually cost more.
