OpenAI Pricing & Token Calculator

24 models · prices verified 2 October 2026

All 24 OpenAI models on one page: context windows, tokenizer behaviour and list price per 1M input and output tokens. Each row links to a dedicated calculator already preselected to that model.

OpenAI counts every request with the tiktoken Byte-Pair-Encoding tokenizer, which is why every OpenAI model on TokenCalc returns an exact count rather than an estimate.

Cheapest OpenAI models per 1M input tokens

ERNIE X1 at $0.006/1M, Doubao 1.6 Flash at $0.01/1M, text-embedding-3-small at $0.02/1M, Doubao 1.6 Lite at $0.02/1M, SenseNova 5.1 (商汤) at $0.04/1M. Output rates run several times higher than input rates on most vendors, so a token-heavy workflow with long generations is priced by the output column.

Largest OpenAI context windows

Gemini 3.1 Pro (2M), Gemini 2.5 Pro (2M), GPT-5.5 (1M). Context headroom is usually the binding constraint before price is — check it first.

OpenAI pricing FAQs

How many OpenAI models can I count tokens for?

24 on TokenCalc, each with its own page and its own preselected calculator: GPT-5.5, GPT-5, GPT-5 mini, GPT-5 nano, GPT-4o, GPT-4o mini, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini and more.

Are OpenAI token counts exact?

OpenAI counts every request with the tiktoken Byte-Pair-Encoding tokenizer, which is why every OpenAI model on TokenCalc returns an exact count rather than an estimate.
