AI Inference Cost Calculator — Scale & Production Pricing

Calculate AI inference costs at scale. Compare costs across providers and see your daily, monthly, and yearly spend at any request volume.

Practical example: 5K req/day, 50% markup. For a startup api product scenario, enter the values that match your situation to get an instant cost estimate.

What's the difference between inference cost and API cost? API cost is what you pay the provider per token. Inference cost is the total cost to run the model, including compute, memory, and serving infrastructure. When using managed APIs, they're effectively the same.

Formula: costPerRequest = (tokens / 1000) × modelPricePerKToken. dailyCost = costPerRequest × requestsPerDay × (1 + markup/100). monthlyCost = dailyCost × 30.4
