What this calculator does
Estimate monthly spend across AI subscriptions, seats, add-ons, and usage overages.

Actual AI costs depend on provider pricing, model choice, token usage, discounts, caching, retries, batching, tool calls, workflow design, and usage volume.
Scenario guidance
When to use this
Use this when AI spend is spread across subscriptions, paid seats, add-on tools, and usage overages.
Example scenario
A founder is reviewing a growing AI tool stack and wants a clean monthly number before renewing annual plans.
Inputs that usually matter most
- Paid seats, especially for tools priced per user.
- Other AI tools, including separate writing, coding, automation, research, or image tools.
- Usage overage, which can make a flat subscription behave more like a variable cost.
Common mistake to avoid
Do not ignore small overlapping subscriptions; several low-cost tools can become meaningful monthly spend across a team.
How to interpret the result
Use the result to identify fixed subscription spend, variable overages, and possible consolidation opportunities before renewals.
Actual subscription spend depends on provider pricing, plan limits, discounts, seat management, usage volume, and workflow design.
Formula
Primary plan prices live in aiSubscriptionOptions. Other AI tools and usage overages are added, then the discount is applied.
Example AI stack
10 team seats, $250 in other tools, $150 overage, and a 10% discount totals about $630 per month.
Frequently Asked Questions
