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

$30.00 + $27.00 + $6.30 = $63.30
How much to trust these numbers
Current Foundry snapshot is dated 2026-10-07 and remains Preview. The Data Zone Standard deployment is listed as available, but the current snapshot's Data Zone rate is not modeled because its matching meter has not appeared in the Azure Retail Prices feed.
Microsoft's Foundry Blog, updated 2026-10-14, publishes $5/$0.50/$30 per M input/cached-input/output for GPT-chat-latest. Microsoft Learn lists the current `gpt-chat-latest` (2026-10-07) snapshot as Preview with 128,000 context and max output, and lists Global and Data Zone Standard availability. Azure Retail Prices, queried 2026-10-15 for Azure OpenAI GPT5 chat-latest meters, includes Global rates of $5/$0.50/$30 and older snapshot names through `08062026`, but no `10072026` meter. This row uses Microsoft's current published price; no Data Zone rate is inferred from the older snapshots.
