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 (80% read discount) |
|---|---|---|
| 1K | $10 | $8.88 |
| 10K | $100 | $88.8 |
| 100K | $1,000 | $888 |
| 500K | $5,000 | $4,440 |
| 1M | $10,000 | $8,880 |
Caching estimate assumes 70% of input tokens are cache reads. Your actual cache hit rate will depend on prompt structure and reuse.
