An AI API cost calculator estimates the cost of using large language model APIs based on token usage. AI APIs charge separately for input (prompt) and output (completion) tokens.

公式

cost = (input_tokens × rate_in) + (output_tokens × rate_out)
T_in
Input tokens (tokens) — Tokens sent to API
T_out
Output tokens (tokens) — Tokens generated by API
rate_in
Input rate ($/1M tokens) — Price per million input tokens
rate_out
Output rate ($/1M tokens) — Price per million output tokens

ステップバイステップガイド

  1. 1Cost = (input tokens ÷ 1000) × input rate + (output tokens ÷ 1000) × output rate
  2. 2Rates are per 1,000 tokens (or per million tokens on newer models)
  3. 3Monthly cost = cost per request × monthly request volume
  4. 4Input tokens are typically cheaper than output tokens

GPT-4o-mini: 1M requests/month
結果
~$150–300/month typical

よくある質問

Why is output more expensive than input?

Generating tokens is computationally more costly than reading them. Output pricing reflects the higher compute cost.

How do I estimate total API costs?

Calculate (input tokens ÷ 1,000,000) × rate_in + (output tokens ÷ 1,000,000) × rate_out. Track all API calls.

What are typical LLM token rates?

As of 2026, rates vary: Claude 3.5 Sonnet ~$3/$15 per 1M tokens; GPT-4 ~$30/$60; open-source may be cheaper.
