Token counts differ across models. This shared rough estimate assumes 4 ASCII characters or 1 other character per token; you can enter a token count instead. This compares budgets, not equivalent answer quality.

Billing assumptions and privacy

Per-call cost = (input tokens × input rate + output tokens × output rate) / 1,000,000. Multiply by calls for the total. Output should include billed reasoning tokens.

Uses standard text API cache-miss rates. Free quotas, batch discounts, search tools, image/audio, taxes and regional surcharges are excluded. Gemini switches to its announced new rates on 2027-01-01. The calculator scope is not a model context-capacity guarantee.
