If you change embedding models or refresh content, you re-embed the whole corpus. Estimate the cost of one or many re-embedding passes over your tokens.
How this is calculated
This calculator uses the rag formulas described in our methodology. All figures are estimates for planning; verify current pricing with each provider before relying on them.
