What is AI Input vs Output Cost Tool?

The AI Input vs Output Cost Tool is designed to estimate the cost of using AI models by breaking down expenses for input (prompt) and output (completion) tokens separately. This helps users understand which part of their AI usage contributes more to costs and allows for smarter budgeting when using models like GPT-4, GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-3.5 Turbo, or the hypothetical GPT-5.

How to Use:

1. Enter Input Tokens: Provide the number of tokens in your prompt or input text.
2. Enter Output Tokens: Provide the number of tokens you expect in the AI’s response.
3. Select AI Model: Choose the AI model you want to calculate costs for. Different models have varying rates for input and output tokens.
4. Click “Calculate”: The tool will compute the cost for both input and output tokens and give you the total cost.
5. Review Result: You’ll see a clear breakdown of how much your input and output contribute to the total cost, making it easier to optimize usage.
