Know the assumptions.

    Price for the product people actually use.

    A cheap individual model call does not necessarily mean a profitable product. Add the calls in each workflow, account for free and heavy users, and compare the resulting costs with subscription revenue.

    Why model more than tokens?

    Images may be billed per image or by tokens. Speech can be billed by minutes, characters, or audio tokens. Video often uses generated seconds. This calculator keeps those units separate so a mixed workflow can be estimated consistently.

    How does the calculator find a minimum price?

    It divides per-paying-customer variable costs and fixed transaction fees by the share of revenue remaining after percentage fees and your target contribution margin. Fixed operating costs are handled separately in profit and break-even calculations.
