Token counter
Models bill by the token, and a token is not a word — the same paragraph is a different number for different model families. Paste anything below to count it exactly, using the same tokenizer the provider uses. Nothing is sent anywhere; the counting happens in your browser.

Paste something above to count it.
We do not publish prices here, because they change and a stale one is worse than none. Take the current figure from the provider’s own pricing page — it is the only copy guaranteed to be right today.
Enter a rate to see a cost.
Input only. Most providers charge more for what the model writes back than for what you send, and nobody can tell you in advance how long an answer will be. Treat this as the floor, not the bill.
Anthropic and Google do not publish their tokenizers, so this cannot count for Claude or Gemini and does not try. Their counts are usually in the same neighbourhood, but a number from the wrong tokenizer looks just as confident as a right one.
