Cost as volume grows
What GPT-5.4 costs if you only send tokens, only get a reply, or do both (70% in / 30% out). Rows start small and go up to huge traffic.

Tokens for a fixed budget
If you cap spend, this is roughly how many GPT-5.4 tokens that money buys.
| Budget | Input tokens | Output tokens | Mixed tokens (70/30) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0.01 | 4,000 | 667 | 1,600 |
| $0.1 | 40,000 | 6,667 | 16,000 |
| $0.5 | 200,000 | 33,333 | 80,000 |
| $1.00 | 400,000 | 66,667 | 160,000 |
| $5.00 | 2M | 333,333 | 800,000 |
| $10.00 | 4M | 666,667 | 1.6M |

At these rates
- A workload with 70% input and 30% output costs $6.25 per 1 million total tokens and $625.00 per 100 million.
- At the same token count, output costs 6 times the input rate. Response length therefore deserves its own budget limit.
- Filling the 272,000-token context window with input alone would cost about $0.68, before any output.
- Cached input is $0.25 per million, 90% below standard input when the workload meets the provider’s cache rules.
These figures use public list prices. Cache eligibility, batch or priority modes, long-context surcharges, discounts, and regional billing can change the invoice.
