Frequently asked questions
No. The calculator uses illustrative blended rates for planning. Model pricing changes often and varies by provider, region, and caching — always verify current rates.
A token is a chunk of text (roughly 0.75 of a word in English). Models bill for input and output tokens, so both count toward your cost.
Use a smaller model where quality allows, trim prompts, cache shared context, and batch requests. Frontier models cost the most per token.
