Workload cost calculator
Share of input tokens served from cache. Applied only to models with a cache meter.
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.
What this lane charges right now

60M input tokens (90% cache hit) and 210K output tokens, at the resolved rate above.
$1.26 + $1.67 + $0.118 = $3.05
How much to trust these numbers
First-party Foundry Data Zone deployment: the Global rate x1.10, rounded up to the meter's precision on every dimension. The Fireworks-hosted Data Zone lane below undercuts both this and Global.
Azure Retail Prices API, product "Azure Deepseek Models": 'V4 Flash Inp DZ Tokens' $0.00021/1K, 'V4 Flash cached DZ Tokens' $0.000031/1K, 'V4 Flash Outp DZ Tokens' $0.00056/1K, uniform across 22 commercial regions. Captured 2026-08-22. Each figure is the Global rate x1.10 rounded up ($0.19 to $0.209 to $0.21; $0.028 to $0.0308 to $0.031; $0.51 to $0.561 to $0.56). The two US-Gov regions price higher, as they do across this whole product; the commercial majority is used here. Microsoft separately publishes a 'V4 Flash 0731' meter set for the newer snapshot at $0.44/$0.014/$1.32 Global — this row tracks the plain 'V4 Flash' meters.
