Calculators

TokenOps Savings Calculator

Seven calculators backed by the model catalogue reviewed 2026-09-27: blended savings, RAG, routing, budget, caching, self-hosted economics, and total cost of ownership.

Baseline monthly$121,500
Optimized monthly$36,068
Monthly savings$85,432
Savings rate70.3%
Payback0.3 months
At 3,000,000 monthly requests, this scenario lowers run-rate by 70.3% while preserving a clear optimization audit trail.

Model the true cost of retrieval-augmented generation including chunk context, system prompts, and cache hit rates.

Input tokens / query2,950
Cost per query$0.0099
Daily cost$119
Monthly (no cache)$3,564
Monthly (with cache)$1,960
Cache savings$1,604

Model Routing Savings

Calculate monthly and annual savings from routing a fraction of traffic to cheaper models.

Baseline / month$105,000
Optimised / month$33,138

Open-model infrastructure economics

Compare owned or dedicated inference with a hosted API. Downloadable weights have no universal token price, so this model uses your measured throughput and infrastructure cost.
