What affects AI model cost
Input tokens
Prompts, instructions, context, retrieved documents, and conversation history usually count as input.
Output tokens
Generated responses are billed separately and often use a different price.
Provider-specific extras
Cached input, batch discounts, tools, images, audio, storage, and fine-tuning may use separate rates.
How is AI token cost calculated?
Input tokens and output tokens are priced separately per million tokens, then the two costs are added.
Why are input and output prices different?
Providers commonly charge different rates for processing context and generating new tokens.
Does this calculator use live model prices?
No. Enter the current rates from your provider so the estimate stays accurate as pricing changes.
What counts as an input token?
System instructions, prompts, conversation history, and supplied context can all count toward input usage.
