o3-mini token FAQs
How many tokens is a word in o3-mini?
About 1.3 tokens per English word for o3-mini — roughly 4.0 characters per token. Code and CJK text tokenize denser, so a 200K tokens window holds fewer words than a prose estimate suggests.
What does o3-mini cost per 1M tokens?
o3-mini is listed at $1.10 per 1M input tokens and $4.40 per 1M output tokens as of 2 October 2026.
What is the o3-mini context window?
o3-mini accepts up to 200K tokens of input.
Is the o3-mini token count on this page exact?
Yes. TokenCalc runs the official o200k_base tokenizer, the same one OpenAI bills with.
Does this o3-mini calculator upload my text?
No. Tokenization runs entirely in your browser over JavaScript. Your text is never sent to any server, which is why the tool works with client code, unreleased prompts and internal data.
