AI cost calculator

Change any number: every result is plain arithmetic you can check. Prices are starting points; type in your vendor's current list price.

1. What will the model cost?

Prompt, instructions and any documents (about ¾ of a word each).
Repeated instructions and documents are billed at about a quarter.
Per month$90.75
Per person$0.4537
Per request$0.0014
Caching saves$14.85

66,000 requests a month (22 working days): $24.75 for input, $66.00 for output.

2. Build it or buy it?

People × months × monthly cost, or a quote.
Hosting and upkeep. Model tokens above: $90.75.
Build, 36 months$150,000
Buy, 200 seats$216,000
Break-evenmonth 18
AfterBuildBuyCheaper
3 months$67,500$18,000Buy
6 months$75,000$36,000Buy
12 months$90,000$72,000Buy
24 months$120,000$144,000Build
36 months$150,000$216,000Build

Money isn't the only question: buying is faster to start and someone else carries the upkeep; building keeps your data and your roadmap in your hands.
