About Azure
Azure OpenAI Service Global Standard pay-as-you-go token rates for enterprise GPT models. Azure appears on CostUse as a provider of AI models with per-token pricing. This page groups the published catalog calculators so you can compare list rates, project monthly volume, and open each model with the public pricing source next to the figure.
There are 4 published models from Azure here. On a 70/30 mix, combined list rates run from $0.285 to $6.25 per 1 million tokens, with a median of $3.3125. The largest listed context window in this group is 400,000 tokens. The most recent price check in this group is 2026-07-30.
Azure model pricing table
Figures below are list prices per 1 million tokens. The 70/30 mix is a planning default—switch the mix on each model calculator if your traffic is output-heavy.
| Model | Input / 1M | Output / 1M | Mixed 70/30 | Context | Verified |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPT-4o mini (Azure Global) | $0.15 | $0.6 | $0.285 | 128,000 | |
| GPT-5.4 mini (Azure Global) | $0.75 | $4.50 | $1.875 | 400,000 | |
| GPT-4o (Azure Global) | $2.50 | $10.00 | $4.75 | 128,000 | |
| GPT-5.4 (Azure Global, short context) | $2.50 | $15.00 | $6.25 | 272,000 |
How to read Azure API cost
Input and output almost never share the same rate. On chat and agent workloads, completion length often dominates the bill. Use each model’s volume bands (from a handful of tokens to tens of millions) to find where a mini or flash tier beats the flagship on cost per accepted result—not only on unit price.
When the source publishes cached input, the model calculator can switch to that rate. For stable system prompts and RAG with repeated documents, cache often moves monthly spend more than swapping models inside the same family.

Frequently asked questions about Azure
How many Azure models have calculators on CostUse?
There are 4 published models from Azure, each with input and output rates (when the source splits them), volume bands, and a link to the official pricing page.
Which Azure model has the lowest list cost in this catalog?
On a 70% input / 30% output mix, GPT-4o mini (Azure Global) is the lowest-priced option in this group at $0.285 per 1 million tokens. Open the model calculator to stress-test your own mix.
Do Azure prices include discounts and taxes?
No. Calculators use public list rates. Annual commits, promo credits, regions, taxes, and commercial discounts are not baked into the figure—always confirm the source linked on the model card.
How should I plan a monthly budget with the Azure API?
Pick a model, estimate input and output tokens per request, multiply by requests per day and by 30. Compare flagship tiers with cheaper ones: classification and routing often clear quality bars on smaller models at a fraction of the cost.
When is the more expensive Azure tier worth it?
GPT-5.4 (Azure Global, short context) sits near $6.25 per 1M tokens on a 70/30 mix, versus $0.285 on GPT-4o mini (Azure Global). Use the high tier for long-horizon reasoning or fewer retries; keep the cheap tier for high volume and simple tasks.
