FAQs

What is an LLM token cost calculator?

It’s a tool that helps you estimate the cost of using large language model APIs by calculating pricing based on the number of input and output tokens consumed per request.

How do I calculate AI API cost?

Multiply your input tokens by the input price per token, and output tokens by the output price per token. Add both to get the total cost per request.

What are input vs output tokens?

Input tokens are the text you send to the model (your prompt). Output tokens are the text the model generates in response. They’re usually priced differently.

Why do different models cost different amounts?

Pricing varies based on model size, capability, and provider. Larger, more capable models like GPT-5 or Claude Opus cost more than smaller models like GPT-5.2

How many tokens is a typical request?

A short prompt might use 100-500 input tokens. A detailed prompt with context can use 1,000-4,000. Responses vary from 200 tokens for a short answer to 2,000+ for detailed content.

Can I use this for production cost estimation?

Yes! Enter your expected tokens per request, then use the monthly estimate feature to project costs based on your daily request volume.
