Prices by deployment type

All rates are USD per 1 million tokens. Each row uses its own deployment type and published price regions. A range reflects regional differences within that type. Missing prices mean no published meter in this snapshot; they do not mean free usage. A retail price does not guarantee deployment availability or quota.

The tables contain only this OpenAI listing. Other providers, versions and similarly named Azure products can have different meters. Some token categories may be missing in individual regions; expand the regional tables for exact coverage.

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.

Global Standard prices and cost examples

Global processing
Inference data may be processed in any Azure region.
Standard pay-per-token
Input and output usage is billed by token. Standard deployments provide best-effort throughput; reserved PTU pricing is separate.
