How Many AI Tokens Can I Get for My Budget?
Enter a monthly dollar amount and instantly see how many tokens each AI model gives you. Last updated:
How far does my AI budget go? Different models have wildly different per-token rates. A $50 monthly budget buys you over 178 million tokens on DeepSeek V3.2 but only about 4 million tokens on Claude Opus 4.6. This calculator divides your budget by each model's input and output rates and ranks every model by total token allowance, so you can find the best bang for your buck.
Your Budget
Token Allowance per Model — $50.00/mo Budget
Sorted by total tokens (most to least). Split: 50% input / 50% output.

How does this calculator work?
- Enter your monthly budget — the total dollar amount you want to spend on AI API calls per month.
- Optionally select a focus model — highlights that model in the table and shows a detailed breakdown.
- Choose a budget split — decide how to allocate between input and output tokens (50/50, 80/20, or 20/80).
- Compare the table — models are ranked from most tokens to least, so the best-value models appear first.
Methodology
Token allowance is calculated by inverting the standard cost formula:
input_tokens = (budget × split_ratio / input_rate_per_M) × 1,000,000
output_tokens = (budget × (1 - split_ratio) / output_rate_per_M) × 1,000,000
The budget split controls what fraction of your monthly spend goes toward input vs output tokens. For most chat use cases, 50/50 is a reasonable default. If you send long prompts with short replies, use 80/20. If you request long-form content generation, use 20/80.
All rates come from our daily-updated pricing database. Models with $0 rates (free tiers) are excluded from ranking.
