What will your API cost?

Turn a token price into a monthly bill. Every assumption is yours to change.

Monthly estimate · USD$6.00

20M input tokens + 5M output tokens

Example: DeepSeek Flash, off-peak, no caching. Edit the prices. Excludes taxes, tools and retries.

How it works

Multiply request volume by the input and output cost of each request. Prices are USD per million tokens. The starting example uses 10,000 calls, 2,000 input tokens and 500 output tokens, at DeepSeek Flash off-peak rates of $0.15 and $0.60: a total of $6.00.

Formula: N × (I × Pi + O × Po) / 1,000,000. This excludes caching, taxes, additional tools and retries. To include retries, increase total requests. For caching, split hit and miss tokens as described in the token cache guide.
