Frequently asked questions
What is a GPT token?
A token is a chunk of text (roughly 4 characters or ¾ of a word in English) that GPT models process. OpenAI prices are billed per 1K tokens.
Which GPT models are supported?
GPT-5.6 Sol, GPT-5.6 Terra, GPT-5.6 Luna, GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4 (and mini/nano), GPT-5.2, GPT-5 (and mini/nano), GPT-4o, GPT-4o mini, GPT-4 Turbo, and GPT-3.5 Turbo.
How accurate is this GPT token calculator?
It uses a proven chars/4 approximation which is within ~5% of OpenAI's official tiktoken library for English text.
Does it send my prompt to OpenAI?
No. All calculation runs locally in your browser — your text never leaves your device.
How much does 1000 tokens cost with GPT-5.5?
GPT-5.5 is roughly $0.008 per 1K input tokens and $0.032 per 1K output tokens. Confirm the latest with OpenAI.
How can I reduce my OpenAI API cost?
Shorten prompts, use smaller models (GPT-5.4 mini/nano, GPT-4o mini) for simple tasks, cache system prompts, and set max_tokens on responses.
Is this token counter free?
Yes — 100% free forever, no sign-up, no rate limit.
