FAQ
How does the token calculator count tokens?
It estimates about 4 characters per token, a common rule of thumb for English text. Each provider uses its own tokenizer, so the real count can differ, especially for code and other languages. Your text never leaves your browser.
How is the cost calculated?
Input tokens times the input price, plus output tokens times the output price, per 1 million tokens, times the number of requests. The cached share of the input is priced at the cached input price when the model has one, and long prompts use the long prompt price where the provider lists one.
Do output tokens include thinking tokens?
Yes, on models that reason before they answer, providers bill thinking tokens as output tokens. Set the output field to include them, which is why output is often the larger part of the bill.
Where do the prices come from?
From each provider's own pricing page, standard tier, checked on November 1, 2026. DeepSeek is priced at its peak rate; off-peak is half price.
