Monthly cost projections
Projected monthly spend at different call volumes, using code generation as a representative workload (2,000 input / 4,000 output tokens per call).
| Calls / month | Without caching | With caching (90% read discount) |
|---|---|---|
| 1K | $42.5 | $40.93 |
| 10K | $425 | $409.25 |
| 100K | $4,250 | $4,092.5 |
| 500K | $21,250 | $20,462.5 |
| 1M | $42,500 | $40,925 |
Caching estimate assumes 70% of input tokens are cache reads. Your actual cache hit rate will depend on prompt structure and reuse.
