Output tokens usually cost several times more than input. Set the response length and volume to see what generation alone costs per response and per month.
How this is calculated
This calculator uses the tokens formulas described in our methodology. All figures are estimates for planning; verify current pricing with each provider before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions
Why is output more expensive than input?+
Generating tokens is more compute-intensive than reading them, so providers price output 3-5x higher. Reasoning models also bill hidden reasoning tokens as output.
