AI cost estimator
Token economics decide whether an automation stays affordable at volume. Set the call volume, the token sizes, the model tier, and the scope, then read the monthly spend and the first year band.
01Your inputs
| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| Monthly input token spend | $150 |
| Monthly output token spend | $180 |
| Monthly token spend | $330 |
| Monthly run cost you entered | $1,200 |
| Monthly total | $1,530 |
| Implementation band for this scope | $12,000 to $30,000 |
Estimated first year total
$30,360 to $48,360
This estimate is derived from the volumes and scope you selected, applied to published planning rates per million tokens. Vendor pricing changes, so treat every figure as a planning band. The output is not a quote from Lingows AI and not a claim about a past project.
02Reading the output
Tiers, not model names
Model names and list prices change often, so this estimator works in small, mid, and frontier planning tiers instead. Routing cheap work to a small tier and reserving the frontier tier for hard cases is usually the single largest lever on monthly spend.
