Paste your text → count tokens → estimate API costs across all major models
Most LLMs use roughly 1 token per 4 characters (or ~0.75 tokens per word) for English text. This is an estimate — actual token counts vary by model tokenizer.
GPT-4/Claude: ~1 token per 4 chars | Kimi/DeepSeek: Similar ratios | Code: Often more tokens per char
Our AI token calculator helps developers and businesses estimate the cost of using large language models (LLMs). Simply paste your text, and we calculate the approximate token count and show pricing across 8 major AI models.
Tokens are the basic units of text that AI models process. A token can be a word, part of a word, or even a single character. For English text, 1 token is roughly 4 characters or 0.75 words. Code and non-English languages may use more tokens per character.
