Have a fixed monthly budget? Enter it with a typical session's token usage to see how many sessions you can serve before you run out.

How this is calculated

Cost per session = input per session × input price + output per session × output price. Sessions per budget = budget ÷ cost per session. It flips the usual question around: instead of 'what will this cost?', it answers 'how many sessions can I serve for $X?'

Is this a good result? What to do next

This is the number to know for free tiers, credits and grants — it's the ceiling before you run out. If it's lower than your expected traffic, you need a cheaper model, tighter sessions, or a bigger budget before launch.

Typical planning ranges

Cheap model + short session: many thousands per $100
Premium model + long session: far fewer per $100
Biggest swing: output length

Ranges are typical planning figures to sanity-check your result, not authoritative benchmarks. Your numbers will vary with use case, volume, and vendor.
