Quick start

Call GPT 5.5 with the OpenAI Python SDK:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI()
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-5.5",
    max_tokens=1000,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}]
)
# Cost: ~$0.0500 per call at standard rates
# Input:  $5.00/MTok
# Output: $30.00/MTok

What drives data extraction cost

Extraction is input-heavy and output-light (the raw document goes in, structured fields come out), which makes it one of the cheapest tasks per unit of value on this list. Output is small enough that output pricing is nearly irrelevant. Cost tracks document size, so the lever is sending only the pages that contain the fields you want.

For GPT 5.5 specifically, that means output tokens cost 6.0x more than input, at $30.00 vs $5.00 per MTok. At this use case’s 4,000/1,000 token split, output accounts for 60% of the $0.0500 per-call cost.

Prompt caching: 90% off input tokens

Caching drops input cost from $5.00 to $0.50/MTok. For repeated system prompts, that saves $0.0180 per call.

Batch API: 50% off all tokens

Submit requests asynchronously and receive 50% off all token costs. This works best for offline pipelines where latency requirements are flexible.

Frequently asked questions

How much does GPT 5.5 cost for data extraction per API call?

A typical data extraction call using GPT 5.5 costs about $0.0500 per call. This estimate uses 4,000 input tokens and 1,000 output tokens at standard rates. Standard rates are $5.00 per million input tokens and $30.00 per million output tokens.

Is GPT 5.5 the best model for data extraction?

GPT 5.5 scores 87 out of 100 on data extraction benchmarks overall. It ranks #4 across all 20 models in our cross-provider registry. The highest-ranked model for this task is GPT 5.6 Terra from GPT. That model scores 90/100 on this task type. Confidence scores are a third-party benchmark snapshot from week 29 of 2026. This snapshot is 8 weeks old, so treat the scores as directional and validate against your own evals.

What is the cheapest model for data extraction with good quality?

The most affordable model for data extraction above 80/100 quality is GPT 5.6 Luna. It comes from GPT at $0.20 per million input tokens. Output costs $1.20 per million tokens with a quality score of 89/100. Switching from GPT 5.5 to GPT 5.6 Luna saves about 96% per API call.

How can I reduce my GPT 5.5 costs for data extraction?

Three strategies lower GPT 5.5 costs for this task type effectively. Prompt caching gives a 90% discount on input tokens when reusing system prompts. The batch API gives 50% off all tokens for asynchronous processing workloads. Prompt optimization reduces token counts through more concise instructions and context windows. Combining caching with batching brings your cost from $0.0500 to about $0.002500 per call.

How does GPT 5.5 pricing compare to other GPT models?

GPT has 4 other models alongside GPT 5.5 today: GPT 5.4 at $2.50/$15.00 per million tokens (mid-tier), GPT 5.6 Sol at $4.00/$20.00 per million tokens (flagship), GPT 5.6 Terra at $2.00/$12.00 per million tokens (mid-tier), GPT 5.6 Luna at $0.20/$1.20 per million tokens (fast / budget). The right choice depends on whether your data extraction workload prioritizes quality, cost, or speed.

What context window does GPT 5.5 support?

GPT 5.5 supports a context window of 1,050K tokens per API call. This sets the maximum combined length of your input prompt and generated response. For data extraction, typical calls use 4,000 input and 1,000 output tokens. That is well within this limit, leaving room for longer prompts or multi-turn conversations.
