Each price includes your prompt and assumed answer length for one call, unless you change usage below. This calculator does not send your prompt to a model. These are prices for software using AI services (APIs), separate from a ChatGPT subscription.

Add context, instructions or media
In ChatGPT, Claude, and agent loops, this estimate assumes each follow-up sends the full prior conversation. Truncation, summarization, retrieval, server state and caching can change actual usage.
Media conversions are illustrative and model-dependent. A generic token price is not a verified media quote; check the provider’s supported modalities and billing units before spending.
