What does the token calculator estimate?
It estimates prompt input tokens, context-window usage, and the approximate cost of one or more model runs using the selected model's pricing.
Paste prompt text to estimate input tokens, how much of the model context you consume, and single-run API cost using live pricing rows.
This is an estimate, not a real-world result.
All prices, model data, token counts, and calculator outputs are example estimates only. Accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or fitness is not guaranteed; LLMRateRadar accepts no responsibility for decisions made from these results.
BETA — counts use GPT-like tokenization only. Provider tokenizers often differ; use provider token counts for billing, not this estimate alone.

Token counts are estimates. Actual tokenization can differ by model and provider.

No. The calculator uses GPT-like tokenization with a fallback approximation. Actual token counts can differ by model, provider, and tokenizer version.
Most LLM APIs charge separately for input and output tokens. Expected output length can be the largest cost driver for chat, summarization, and agent workflows.
