Token Counter
Estimate how many tokens your text contains for LLM API usage and cost calculation.
Text Statistics
* Token counts are estimates based on common tokenization patterns. Actual counts may vary depending on the specific tokenizer used by each model. Pricing shown is per 1K tokens based on publicly available rates.
What is Token Counter?
A Token Counter estimates the number of tokens in your text for use with Large Language Model (LLM) APIs like OpenAI's GPT-4 or Anthropic's Claude. Tokens are the basic units that LLMs process - they can be words, parts of words, or punctuation. Understanding token counts helps you manage API costs and stay within context window limits. This tool provides estimates based on common tokenization patterns.
