Why this isn't trivial
The part people underestimate: your affordable request count is your budget divided by per-request cost, which changes with model and token sizes. In practice the biggest savings come from lowering per-request cost to buy more requests within the same budget, so it is worth modelling before you commit.
How it's calculated
We estimate this by dividing your monthly budget by the per-request cost at your chosen model. 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
How do I fit more requests in?+
Cut tokens per request or pick a cheaper model to raise the affordable count.
What if I exceed the budget?+
Throttle, cache, or route overflow to a cheaper model.
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.
