These are recorded base standard list rates in USD per million tokens. Promotions, long-context surcharges, Batch, cache write/storage and other service charges can change the bill. Use the calculator for its supported workload rules and check the linked provider terms. A carried observation is the last known rate, not a fresh verification.

What would 100,000 English words cost?

Using TokenScale’s estimate of 4 tokens per 3 English words, 100,000 words is about 133,333 tokens. Each column below bills only that direction at the recorded base rate; it is not a complete conversation bill. Language, tokenization, context limits and provider terms can change the result. These are calculations, not provider quotes.
