Embed V4 Azure Pricing

How token costs are calculated

For each region and deployment type, multiply each token category by its matching rate, then divide the sum by 1,000,000. Monthly estimates multiply that request cost by the number of requests. Ranges use complete workloads priced in each region, so input and output prices from different regions are never combined.

Request cost = (uncached input tokens × input rate + cached input tokens × cached input rate + cache-write input tokens × cache-write rate + output tokens × output rate) / 1,000,000.

The examples below use zero cache writes. The cached example assumes half of the input tokens are eligible cache reads on every request; actual cache hit rates and any cache creation charges depend on the deployment. Missing cache rates are not replaced with ordinary input rates. Estimates cover these token meters only, before taxes, negotiated discounts and any separate hosting, tools, media or provisioned-capacity charges.

Some model token limits are not published in the metadata. These are arithmetic cost examples; verify that your deployment supports the workload before using it.

Price sources and deployment guidance

Rates come from the Azure Retail Prices API. This page covers consumption token meters in Azure Public. Provisioned throughput, training, non-token media meters and sovereign-cloud pricing are separate billing scopes.
