How much will 1 million AI requests cost?
Planning ahead? To estimate the cost of one million AI requests, you need to see how today's per-user cost behaves as volume climbs. This page helps teams sizing high-volume workloads project the bill at scale before the growth (and the invoice) actually arrives.

Why this isn't trivial
The part people underestimate: at a million requests, the per-request cost is multiplied enormously, so tiny token differences become large dollar amounts. In practice the biggest savings come from trimming tokens per request and picking a low per-request model, so it is worth modelling before you commit.
How it's calculated
We estimate this by computing cost per request and multiplying by one million at your model's rates. Every figure uses the current provider prices baked into the site (reviewed daily), and you can override any input to match your own assumptions.
Frequently asked questions
Why obsess over per-request cost?+
Because a million multiplications turn fractions of a cent into serious money.
What cuts the total most?+
Fewer tokens per request and a cheaper model, since both scale with volume.
Are these prices up to date?+
Yes. The model prices behind this calculator are refreshed and reviewed daily, so your estimate reflects current provider rates rather than a stale snapshot.
