BEFORE YOU START

The facts and the limits.

What is known

Google describes a phased rollout, not universal access. This calculator is not an Argon chat interface.

What it means

Announced introductory rates: US$2/M input, US$10/M output. Cached input is 95% below the input rate.

What is not claimed

Google's footnote gives later rates of US$4/M input and US$20/M output. End date, additional fees and account eligibility are not inferred.

Source review: 8 October 2026. Read sources and uncertainty.

Try a transparent example.

10,000 uncached + 5,000 cached input and 2,000 output tokens × 1,000 requests = US$40.50 at introductory rates; US$81 at later rates.
