How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter Input Tokens per Request, Output Tokens per Request, and Model.
  2. Set GPT-4o, Claude Sonnet, and Llama 3 (hosted).
  3. Adjust Requests per Day as needed.
  4. Review Cost per Request ($) and Monthly Cost ($).
  5. Use Daily Cost ($) to inform your decision.

How the result changes with Output Tokens per Request

Output Tokens per RequestCost per RequestMonthly Cost
10,000$0.16$4,680.00
35,000$0.53$15,930.00

90,000$1.36$40,680.00

What each input means

Input Tokens per Request
Average number of input/prompt tokens per API request
Output Tokens per Request
Average number of output/completion tokens per API request
Model
API provider and model — pricing varies significantly between providers
Requests per Day
Expected number of API calls per day

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Input Tokens per Request = 2000, Output Tokens per Request = 500, Model = 2, Requests per Day = 1000 = 4 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Cost per Request
    Cost per Request
    0.0135 = $0.014
  3. Calculate Monthly Cost
    Monthly Cost
    405 = $405
  4. Calculate Daily Cost
    Daily Cost
    13.5 = $13.5
