AI Cost Calculators
AI Token Cost Calculator
Estimate AI API costs using requests, input tokens, cached input tokens, output tokens, and your own pricing.
Enter Your AI Token Usage
Add your expected requests, average tokens, and provider prices.
* Important: Price fields are blank by design. Enter the current input, cached input, and output prices from the official page for the exact model and processing mode you plan to use.

* Important: Beeija stores no built-in provider rate in this calculator. Verify every price on the official provider page before relying on the result. Costs not entered are treated as zero.
AI token prices are often shown per one million tokens, while your real workload may use thousands of requests each month. This calculator turns those values into a simple cost estimate.
How the AI Token Cost Calculator Works
Enter your expected requests per month and the average input and output tokens used by one request.
Add the provider's input, cached-input, and output prices per one million tokens. The calculator then separates each cost and shows the total.
You can also enter the share of input tokens that may use cached pricing.
What to Enter for a Useful Estimate
Include the system message, prompt, chat history, retrieved text, tool instructions, and other text sent to the model in your input estimate.
Use the average answer length expected in real use. A short classification task and a long report can have very different output costs.
Test a small launch, a normal month, and a busy month to see how the cost may change as usage grows.
Common Ways to Use This Calculator
- Estimate the monthly cost of an AI chatbot.
- Calculate cost per request or per user.
- Compare two models with the same workload.
- Test the possible saving from cached input.
- Review the effect of longer prompts and answers.
- Prepare an early AI API budget.
Simple AI Token Cost Example
Imagine an AI feature with 100,000 requests per month. Each request uses 1,000 input tokens and 300 output tokens. The provider charges $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens.
Enter those values to see the estimated input, output, and monthly cost. You can then replace the prices with another model's rates for comparison.
Pricing and Estimate Notes
This calculator does not store provider prices. You enter the rates you want to test, so it can be used with any AI model or provider.
Check the latest official pricing page before making a final budget. Some providers also charge for tools, images, audio, storage, web search, or other services.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is AI token cost calculated?
The calculator multiplies uncached input, cached input, and output tokens by the prices you enter. It then shows the estimated cost per request, day, month, and year.
What is the difference between input and output tokens?
Input tokens are sent to the model. Output tokens are returned by the model. Providers may charge different rates for each.
What are cached input tokens?
Cached input tokens are repeated prompt tokens that may qualify for a lower price. Not every provider or request supports cached pricing.
Can I use this for any AI provider?
Yes. Enter the provider's price per million input, cached input, and output tokens.
Are the results exact?
No. They are planning estimates. Your final bill may change because of retries, tools, images, audio, taxes, discounts, or other services.
Can I compare two models?
Yes. Calculate one model, note the result, then enter the second model's prices while keeping the same workload.
