1. Not Professional Advice

The information and calculations provided by the AI Token & API Cost Estimator are for informational and educational purposes only. They do not constitute financial, legal, or technical advice.

2. "As Is" Basis

This tool is provided "as is" without any warranties, express or implied. We do not warrant that the calculator will be error-free or that the rates reflected will always match the exact millisecond billing of providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google.

3. Third-Party Pricing

Model rates (e.g., $1.75/1M tokens for GPT-5.2) are based on public documentation as of April 2026. Providers may change these rates without notice. We recommend verifying final costs within your provider's billing dashboard.

4. Tokenizer Variance

Different models use different tokenization algorithms (e.g., Tiktoken, SentencePiece). While we use a standardized 1.35x multiplier for 2026 models, the exact token count may vary slightly depending on your specific character set and language.
