Frequently asked questions

How is the monthly cost calculated?

For each model, the tool multiplies your input tokens per request by the model’s input price per million tokens, does the same for output tokens, adds the two for the cost of one request, then multiplies by your requests per month.

Where do the prices come from, and how fresh are they?

Prices are read from OpenRouter’s public model catalogue and refreshed at most once a day. If that catalogue cannot be reached, the page falls back to a committed snapshot and labels how old it is. OpenRouter is a routing marketplace, so a model’s rate there can differ from the provider’s own list price. Check the vendor’s pricing page before relying on these figures in a contract.

What does the estimate leave out?

Each model uses one input price and one output price, so the tool does not model discounts such as prompt caching or batch processing, nor charges for tools, search, images or taxes. Providers generally bill reasoning or “thinking” tokens as output, so include them in your output-token figure.

How do I work out my tokens per request?

Paste a representative prompt into the Token Counter to get an input figure, and estimate a typical response length for the output figure. Remember that a system prompt and any conversation history you resend on every call count as input each time.

llmtools is a vendor-neutral toolkit for working with large language models — token counting, cost estimation and model comparison, computed in your browser. OpenAI token counts are exact, using the same encoding the model does (o200k_base for GPT-4o, cl100k_base for GPT-4/3.5); Claude and Gemini counts are labelled approximations, since neither publishes a tokenizer that runs client-side. Model pricing is read from OpenRouter’s public catalogue once a day. Nothing you type is ever transmitted anywhere.
