Monthly budget and break-even planner

Shape a single request, project it across a month of traffic, and see whether it fits your budget — plus the cache hit rate that would make it fit, and where a Direct lane crosses its Microsoft Foundry counterpart. Every figure traces to the same rate resolver the compare page uses.

Time

Rows with a rate that changes by time of day, promo window or service tier are priced for this scenario instead of their flat listed rate; a brand-colored label under the model name names which one applies. Context size for band-priced rows uses the input-token count below.

Picking a specific hour also previews time-of-day rates that are scheduled but have not started billing yet; those rows are labelled · preview with their start instant. Now only ever shows rates that are billable at this moment.

Break-even

Cache hit rate needed to hit budget

The cache hit rate Kimi K3.1 Pro would need, holding volume and growth fixed, to spend no more than your $1,000 monthly budget.

Out of reach at this volume: even 100% cache hit would still cost $2772.00, $1772.00 over your $1,000 budget.
