Cost Calculation
Formula: (Input Tokens × Input Price) + (Output Tokens × Output Price)
Prices shown are per 1,000 tokens (1K). For 100 tokens, divide by 10. For 1M tokens, multiply by 1,000.
How to Use This Tool
- Select your model – Choose from GPT-4, GPT-3.5, Claude, or other LLM providers
- Enter token counts – Input estimated input and output tokens for your request

Why Calculate API Costs?
- Budget planning for LLM-powered applications
- Understand pricing differences between models
- Optimize prompt length to reduce costs
- Estimate costs before scaling production workloads
- Compare cost-efficiency across LLM providers
Example
Scenario: Processing 1,000 requests with 500 input tokens and 200 output tokens each
- GPT-4 Turbo: (500 × $0.01 + 200 × $0.03) × 1,000 = $7,000/month
- GPT-4o: (500 × $0.005 + 200 × $0.015) × 1,000 = $3,500/month
- Claude 3 Opus: (500 × $0.015 + 200 × $0.075) × 1,000 = $22,500/month
