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