Why this isn't trivial
The part people underestimate: images are priced per image by size/quality tier, so volume times the tier price sets the bill. In practice the biggest savings come from using a lower quality tier where it's good enough, so it is worth modelling before you commit.
How it's calculated
We estimate this by multiplying per-image price at your tier by images generated per month. Every figure uses the current provider prices baked into the site (reviewed daily), and you can override any input to match your own assumptions.
