Cost calculator

Turn public token pricing into monthly spend, budget capacity, cache savings, and a quick text-to-token estimate.

Scenario templates

Start from a realistic workload instead of a blank token form. Templates only preload values, so you can still edit everything after loading.

Workload assumptions

Display currency Default USD display

Live FX rates come from Frankfurter. If conversion is unavailable, the calculator falls back to the model source currency and marks that row.

Models to compare

1 selected. Leave this blank and the calculator falls back to three live-snapshot defaults.

Quick token estimate

Optional helper for rough sizing before you set request token numbers.

Token estimate helper

Useful when you know document size before you know request tokens.

From English words 0
From Chinese chars 0
From pages 0
Estimated total tokens 0

Estimate only. Default assumptions: 1 token ~= 0.75 English words, 1 token ~= 1.5 Chinese characters, 1 page ~= 500 English words.

How the calculator interprets inputs

  • `Cache hit ratio` discounts only the cached share of input tokens.
  • `Batch discount` applies only when the stored snapshot lists a batch ratio for that model.
  • `Budget fit` means the maximum monthly requests you can afford with the exact request shape above.
Open glossary Methodology

Shareable by URL

Scenario, workload inputs, selected models, display currency, and budget already stay in the current query string, so the active calculator view is directly shareable.

Estimated results

Monthly cost stays sorted low to high. Added fields help answer budget fit, cache value, and request-level economics.

Model Monthly cost 1k requests Blend / 1M Cache savings / month Batch savings / month Budget fit
