Input and output token prices
LLM APIs usually charge separately for tokens sent to the model and tokens generated in the response. LLM Cost normalizes both rates per one million tokens so providers are easier to compare.

How to calculate LLM API cost
Compare current LLM API prices using the same unit, then estimate the cost for your actual input and output token volume.
02
Estimate the real request cost
Multiply input tokens by the input rate, add output tokens multiplied by the output rate, then divide by one million. The calculator below applies that formula to the live catalog.
03
Compare the same model across providers
A model can have different prices across its native API and inference providers. Model and comparison pages show the current provider matrix instead of treating one list price as universal.
Prices sync from the catalog throughout the day. Browse the LLM pricing directory or open the calculator below for a workload estimate.
