Quantifying AI costs with tokens

The token is the unit of data that an AI model will use to represent words and charactors. A token can consist of one letter, or short word may be represented by one token, and a longer word at least two tokens. Typically, there are between 500-1000 tokens per page of text, with 600 being the earmark. There are two types of tokens. Input tokens are the prompt that you pass to the AI engine. Output tokens are the text that is generated or the resulting text generated. Costs are different for each.

For example:

Per 1M tokens in USD:

Google Gemnini 2.5 Pro (best results, but expensive):

Input price: $1.25, prompts <= 200k tokens $2.50, prompts > 200k tokens

Output price: $10.00, prompts <= 200k tokens $15.00, prompts > 200k

Google Gemnini 2.5 Flash (fast, cheaper, slightly less quality):

Input price: $0.30 (text / image / video) $1.00 (audio)

Output price: $2.50

If you are processing 10 pages of text, the estimated costs will be: 10 pages x 600 tokens (est) = 6000 tokens (est)

Pro:$16.25 or $17.50

Input cost (short prompt):$1.25

Input cost (long prompt): $2.50

Output cost:$15.00

Flash: $2.80

Input cost: $0.30

Output cost: $2.50
