Tokens for a fixed budget
If you cap spend, this is roughly how many Command R tokens that money buys.
| Budget | Input tokens | Output tokens | Mixed tokens (70/30) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0.01 | 20,000 | 6,667 | 12,500 |
| $0.1 | 200,000 | 66,667 | 125,000 |
| $0.5 | 1M | 333,333 | 625,000 |
| $1.00 | 2M | 666,667 | 1.25M |
| $5.00 | 10M | 3.33M | 6.25M |
| $10.00 | 20M | 6.67M | 12.5M |

At these rates
- A workload with 70% input and 30% output costs $0.8 per 1 million total tokens and $80.00 per 100 million.
- At the same token count, output costs 3 times the input rate. Response length therefore deserves its own budget limit.
- Filling the 128,000-token context window with input alone would cost about $0.064, before any output.
These figures use public list prices. Cache eligibility, batch or priority modes, long-context surcharges, discounts, and regional billing can change the invoice.
