Prompt Cost Estimator

Calculate API costs for your LLM usage

Prompt Cost Estimator

Enter your token counts and model to see estimated API costs. Prices current as of January 2026.

Input Cost
$0.00
Output Cost
$0.00

Total Cost per Request
$0.00

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

  1. Select your model – Choose from GPT-4, GPT-3.5, Claude, or other LLM providers
  2. Enter token counts – Input estimated input and output tokens for your request
  3. View instant cost – See total cost breakdown and cost per request
  4. Copy result – Use "Copy Total Cost" to save the calculation

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
