⌁ How the estimate works
Monthly cost combines model tokens, tools, RAG, observability, human review and retry behavior from your editable assumptions.
monthly = model + tools + RAG + observability + human review + retries▣ Sources & assumptions
Rate records are source-linked and versioned. Always check the provider page before final budgeting.
? FAQ
Why can an invoice differ? Contracts, taxes, regional pricing, tool metering and usage behavior can change the final bill.
Use unit economics for model decisions
A model comparison is more useful when you measure cost per successful task, latency and quality together. A lower token price can cost more in the final system if it creates more retries, longer outputs or more human review.
Frequently asked questions
Does API list pricing equal my monthly cost?
No. List pricing is one input. Your bill can also reflect output length, cache behavior, retries, tool calls, storage, regional or contract terms, taxes and provider-specific metering.
Why estimate cost per successful task?
Requests that fail, retry, or need manual recovery still consume resources. Cost per successful task connects technical usage to the outcome your product actually delivers.
Can I use custom pricing?
Yes. Select Custom rates in the calculator and enter your own input and output price per million tokens. This is useful for negotiated or provider-specific terms.
