* Important: Calculated from the values currently shown. Default usage values are examples, so change them to match your expected usage. Built-in Cohere rates were checked on June 19, 2026. Final charges may include Embed, Rerank, transcription, private deployment, cloud platform fees, taxes, discounts, retries, and other services.
Cohere API costs can change with the model, prompt size, answer length, and request count. This calculator helps you test a small launch, a normal month, and a higher-usage case before you build.
How the Cohere API Cost Calculator Works
Choose a Cohere Command model and enter the expected number of requests per month. Then add the average billed input and output tokens used by one request.
The calculator separates input and output costs and shows the estimated cost per request, day, month, and year.
You can also turn on custom pricing when Cohere updates its rates or when you use a private price.
What to Enter for a Useful Estimate
Use billed token values when they are available in your Cohere API response. These are the tokens used for billing.
If you are planning before launch, include the system message, prompt, chat history, retrieved text, and expected answer length in your estimate.
Test a normal month and a busy month so you can see how the cost may grow with more users and requests.
Common Ways to Use This Calculator
- Estimate the monthly cost of a Cohere chatbot.
- Compare Command A, Command R+, Command R, and R7B.
- Estimate cost per request, day, month, and year.
- Test the effect of longer prompts and answers.
- Plan a RAG or agent workload before launch.
- Prepare an early Cohere API budget.
Simple Cohere API Cost Example
Imagine a RAG assistant with 40,000 requests per month. Each request uses 1,600 billed input tokens and 350 billed output tokens. Enter those values and choose Command R.
The calculator will show separate input and output costs. You can then switch to Command A, Command R+, or Command R7B without changing the workload.
Pricing and Estimate Notes
Built-in prices were checked against Cohere's official model and pricing pages on June 19, 2026. Cohere may change models, prices, limits, or billing rules at any time.
Command A+ is not included as a normal metered model because Cohere currently presents it through Model Vault and lists free use within rate limits instead of a standard token price. Enter a custom commercial rate if one applies to you.
This calculator covers text-generation token charges only. Embed, Rerank, transcription, private deployment, cloud platform fees, taxes, and other services may add separate costs.
Always check the official Cohere pricing page before making a final budget or purchase decision.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Cohere API cost calculated?
The calculator multiplies total billed input and output tokens by the selected Cohere model rates. It then shows the estimated cost per request, day, month, and year.
What are billed tokens in Cohere?
Cohere API responses can show both total tokens and billed tokens. Billed tokens are the tokens used for pricing, so they are the best values to use when you have real usage data.
Can I compare Cohere Command models?
Yes. Keep the same request and token values, then switch between Command A, Command R+, Command R, and Command R7B.
Does this calculator include Cohere Embed or Rerank?
No. This calculator is for text-generation token costs. Embed is priced by embedded tokens, while Rerank is priced by search units.
Are trial API calls included?
Cohere says trial-key usage is free but limited. This calculator is mainly for planning production token costs.
Can I enter my own Cohere prices?
Yes. Turn on custom pricing and enter your own input and output rates per million tokens.
Why is Command A+ not shown as a normal paid token model?
Cohere currently presents Command A+ through Model Vault and describes it as free within published rate limits. Because that is not a normal pay-as-you-go token rate, the calculator does not treat it as a zero-cost metered model. Use custom pricing if Cohere gives you a separate commercial rate.
