Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the token count compared to actual API billing?
Our calculator achieves 99.9% accuracy by using the exact same tokenizers as the API providers. For OpenAI models, we use the official tiktoken library. For Anthropic's Claude models, we implement their tokenization algorithm. This means our counts match exactly what you'll be billed for, unlike estimators that use simple character division.
What is cached input pricing and how much can it save?
Cached input pricing lets you reuse repeated context (system prompts, instructions, long docs) at a lower rate. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and xAI all support caching on key models. Example: Claude Opus 4.6 input is $5/1M tokens, while cached reads are $0.50/1M tokens, a 90% reduction on cached input.
Which AI model offers the best price-to-performance ratio in 2026?
There is no single winner across every workload. In early 2026, Claude Haiku 4.5, GPT-5 mini, and Gemini Flash-class models are common value choices for high-volume apps, while Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.2 are premium options for harder reasoning tasks. The best choice depends on latency targets, context length, and output quality requirements.
How do I calculate costs for a production chatbot serving 10,000 users?
Estimate average tokens per conversation first, then multiply by user and session volume. Example: 10,000 users × 2 conversations/day × 1,000 tokens = 20M tokens/day. Convert that into input/output splits (for example 70/30) and apply your model pricing. Use this calculator's requests/day and cached-input toggle to project daily and monthly spend before deployment.
Can I use this calculator for fine-tuned or custom models?
Yes, our calculator supports fine-tuned model pricing. OpenAI's fine-tuned models may differ from base rates. For GPT-4o fine-tuned, we use $3.75/1M input, $15/1M output, and $1.875/1M cached input as defaults. You can also set custom enterprise prices if needed. Tokenization is unchanged, so counts remain accurate.
How often are the model prices updated and verified?
Prices are updated directly from official provider documentation, and each model includes a last-verified date. For major releases or pricing changes, updates are typically shipped the same day. Always double-check enterprise or region-specific pricing in your provider account because contracted rates can differ from public tables.
What's the difference between streaming and batch API pricing?
Streaming and non-streaming usually have the same token pricing. Batch APIs can be cheaper when you don't need immediate responses. For example, OpenAI and Anthropic publish batch discounts on supported models. This calculator shows standard synchronous rates; apply provider-specific batch multipliers when modeling delayed workloads.
How do I optimize token usage to reduce API costs?
Key levers: 1) Cache repeated context blocks. 2) Trim prompts and keep instructions concise. 3) Route easy tasks to cheaper models and reserve premium models for hard cases. 4) Set strict max output limits. 5) Use batch mode for non-real-time jobs. 6) Tune RAG chunking so you send only relevant context. These controls usually cut spend significantly without harming quality.
