AI Model Price Calculator

Compare current LLM API costs across 39 production models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, xAI, Mistral, Cohere, and Amazon.

What is this tool?

When you use AI APIs like GPT-5.6, Claude, or Gemini, you pay per token — roughly a few cents to tens of dollars per 1M tokens depending on the model. A token is about 4 characters or 3/4 of a word. This calculator helps you estimate exactly how much your AI usage will cost before you write a single line of code.

Whether you are building an app, running a business, or just exploring AI costs — enter your expected input and output tokens above, and instantly compare prices across 39 models from every major provider.
