Estimate your AI costs

All amounts in US dollars, from each provider’s published price list.

Model

Your traffic

Requests per day

API calls, not users. An agent or chain may make several calls per user action.

Average input tokens per request

tokens

System prompt, chat history, retrieved documents and tool definitions together.

Average output tokens per request

tokens

Include reasoning tokens if the model bills them as output.

Discounts

Input read from the prompt cache

Share of input tokens billed at the cached input price.

Requests sent through a batch API

Work that can wait for an asynchronous batch job instead of an instant reply.

The starting figures are examples. Replace them with your own.

Per month: $7,604; Average month (365 ÷ 12 days)

Hardware

GPU

Provider

Where a provider sells several instance sizes, the cheapest one that fits your GPU count is used.

Pricing

A reservation is paid for every hour of the term, used or not.

Number of GPUs

Rounded up to whole instances where a provider only rents fixed sizes.

Running time and output

Hours switched on per day

hours

Busy share of those hours

How much of the switched-on time the GPUs spend generating at full throughput. Real services rarely reach 100%.

Throughput per GPU (optional)
