AI Calculators
Every AI cost calculator on RevenueLab, organized by what you're actually trying to decide. Forecast token bills, compare GPU clouds, model RAG pipelines, price generative media, and prove agent unit economics — without spreadsheets.
Models, Tokens & API Pricing
Forecast monthly API bills before you ship. Compare GPT, Claude, Gemini, and open-source models on input/output token mix, context length, and cache hit rate.
LLM Inference Cost Calculator
Estimate OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and open-source LLM monthly bills from tokens, requests, and per-million pricing.
Token Usage Calculator
Convert words and characters to LLM tokens and estimate API cost across input/output for any model.
Prompt Engineering ROI Calculator
Quantify ROI of prompt trimming, caching, and model routing — payback days, year-1 savings, quality impact.
Infrastructure & Self-Hosting
When self-hosting beats API calls. GPU cloud comparisons, RAG pipeline economics, and the full picture of running production inference on your own stack.
AI / GPU Cloud Cost Calculator
Monthly H100/A100/L40S spend on AWS, GCP, CoreWeave, Lambda, RunPod, and Modal — with reserved discounts and egress.
RAG Pipeline Cost Calculator
Embeddings + vector DB + retrieval + completion — full monthly RAG spend with Pinecone, Qdrant, pgvector compared.
Generative Media
Image and video generation has its own cost curve — credits, regenerations, and human review time dominate. Model spend per kept asset, not per attempt.
AI Image Generation Cost Calculator
Monthly spend for Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, Ideogram, and Sora — with regen rate and human review baked in.
AI Video Generation Cost Calculator
Monthly cost for Sora 2, Veo 3, Runway Gen-4, Luma Ray, Kling — clip length, reject rate, post-prod time.
AI Product Economics & ROI
Turn token bills into gross margin. Agent unit economics, automation payback, and the math that decides whether your AI feature can survive the 99th-percentile user.
AI Agent Unit Economics Calculator
Cost per task, gross margin, and break-even price for AI agents including retries, tools, and human review.
Robot vs Human Cost Calculator
Automation payback and 3-year TCO vs fully-loaded labor — cobots, AMRs, RPA, AI agents.
How to choose the right AI calculator
Pricing a new feature?
Start with the LLM Inference Cost Calculator to size the API bill, then run AI Agent Unit Economics to back out the price you need to charge.
Deciding API vs self-host?
Compare the API total against GPU Cloud + utilization. Self-hosting only wins above ~60% sustained utilization on a discounted reservation.
Building with retrieval?
The RAG Pipeline calculator separates embedding, vector DB, and completion costs so you can spot the lever that actually moves $/query.
2026 model tier reference
| Tier | Input / M tokens | Output / M tokens | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium reasoning | $3–15 | $15–60 | Final generation, complex reasoning |
| Balanced standard | $0.50–3 | $2.50–12 | Most production traffic |
| Fast / cheap | $0.05–0.40 | $0.20–2.00 | Classification, routing, summarization |
Ratios between tiers are more durable than absolute prices — every major model has dropped 60–95% over the last 18 months. Re-pull provider pricing quarterly.
FAQ
What's the difference between this hub and /ai-cost-calculators?
Both surface the AI calculators. This page groups them by job-to-be-done (pricing, infra, media, economics) with deeper guidance. The /ai-cost-calculators page is the lighter category index.
Are these calculators free?
Yes. Every calculator on RevenueLab is free, no sign-up, and works in your browser.
How often is pricing updated?
Provider price lists are reviewed quarterly. You can always override the per-million-token rates inside each calculator to match the contract you actually signed.
