A token is a part of a text that can be word, subword, punctuation mark or symbol. It is the unit of account of OpenAI APIs.
An OpenAI execution is the combination of the invite to OpenAI and the response from OpenAI. All text in the prompt and response count for OpenAI billing.
The OpenAI prompt is the instructions or question you send to OpenAI in order to get a
response. It is text written in normal, natural language, for example:
Prompt: "Write a tagline for an ice cream shop".
This is the response OpenAI gives you to the prompt you sent, for example:
Prompt: "Write a tagline for an ice cream shop"
Response: "We serve up smiles with every scoop!"
You can configure a billing limit in the OpenAI billing settings, in order to control your costs.
You can review your usage in the OpenAI dashboard usage section. You can easily set a spending limit in the OpenAI dashboard billing section.
You can use OpenAI's tokenizer to estimate your token usage for a given prompt. You can find the calculator here.
OpenAI vision models process images by dividing them into tiles. For GPT-4.1, images are first resized if they exceed 2048px in any dimension. If the shortest side is larger than 768px, it's scaled down. The image is then divided into 512×512px tiles, with each tile costing 170 tokens. A base cost of 85 tokens is added per request. The total token cost is calculated as: (number of tiles × 170 tokens per tile) + 85 base tokens. You can use our Image Tokens calculator tab to estimate these costs precisely.
Cached input pricing is a way to reduce costs when making multiple API calls with the same input tokens. When you use cached input (by including a session_id in your API calls), you're only charged the full input token rate for the first call, and a significantly reduced rate (typically 75% lower) for subsequent calls with the same content. This is particularly useful for applications where you need to reuse the same context or instructions across multiple requests, such as chatbots with fixed system prompts or tools that process similar inputs frequently. Models with "(cached input)" in their name in our calculator represent the pricing for these cached token scenarios.
