Token to USD Cost Converter — All Major LLM Pricing
This converter lets you enter any token count and immediately see the cost in USD across all major language model providers. Use it to compare costs between GPT, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, DeepSeek, and other LLMs before committing to a model for your project.
Understanding Input vs Output Token Pricing
LLM APIs charge different rates for input tokens (your prompt) and output tokens (the model's response). Output tokens are typically 3–5× more expensive than input tokens because generating tokens is computationally more intensive than processing them. The converter shows both costs separately and their total so you can accurately plan your budget.
Cost Optimization Strategies
- DeepSeek V3 offers GPT-4o level quality at ~10× lower cost per token.
- For high-volume tasks, output costs dominate — limit response length where possible.
- Use structured outputs (JSON mode) to prevent verbose, wordy responses.
- Gemini 1.5 Flash is one of the cheapest models at $0.075 per 1M input tokens.
