Token Cost Calculator

Estimate cost from token counts and model rates—great for quickly checking whether a workflow is going to be expensive.

The problem

Token costs are predictable. The trick is translating “tokens you think you send” into tokens you actually bill.

Step 1: split input vs output

Input tokens are your prompt/context. Output tokens are the model’s responses.

Step 2: apply model rates

Cost per request = input_tokens * input_rate + output_tokens * output_rate Then multiply by how many requests you trigger per user action.

Mini example

  • input_tokens: 8,000
  • output_tokens: 2,500
  • requests/day: 5,000 Costs grow linearly with calls and tokens.
