Instant Token Counter

Paste your text — see tokens & cost

Counts tokens using the standard 4-characters = 1 token heuristic. Select a model to see the live cost estimate for your text.

Heuristic: 1 token ≈ 4 characters of English text, or roughly ¾ of a word. Actual token counts vary by model and language — OpenAI's tiktoken, Anthropic's tokeniser, and Google's SentencePiece all produce slightly different counts for the same text. This tool uses the widely-accepted 4-character approximation for fast estimation.

Cost Comparison Across Models

* Projections based on published list prices (USD per 1M tokens, Q1 2026). Assumes flat daily usage across all working days. Actual costs may differ with volume discounts, prompt caching, reserved capacity, or API tier pricing. Embedding and image-generation models are excluded from this view. Trinfac recommends building a chargeback model around projected spend to ensure cost accountability across teams.

How token pricing works: Input tokens are the text you send to the model (system prompt + user message). Output tokens are the text the model generates in response. Output is typically 3–5× more expensive than input. Embedding models only have input costs. For on-demand usage, costs are billed per token with no commitment required.
