Token Bill Calculator

Open dedicated calculator page →

Price one agent turn from context mix, then scale to a month. Starts from a heavy agent session: 80k input tokens at 87.5 percent cache hits and 1.5k output tokens.

Live result · Monthly model spend · One turn priced from cache mix, scaled to a full month of agent traffic.

RPS Envelope Estimator

Turn events per second into a monthly envelope: edge rate times seconds per month at a blended price, and fixed platform spend.

Live result · Monthly envelope · Edge throughput and fixed platform, priced for a full month.

Compaction Survival Calculator

Open dedicated calculator page →

A context window goes in, a summary comes out. See what survives and what the re-read bill looks like. The 575k-token window, 0.75% survival rate, and 28 reread steps are illustrative defaults—not a measured median. Replace them with observations from your own workload.

Live result · Re-read bill · What it costs to rebuild state after the window gets crushed.

Retry-Storm Cost Calculator

Open dedicated calculator page →

Failed agent attempts rebill every retry. Multiply tasks by retries by attempt cost and watch the storm's share of the budget.

Live result · Monthly waste · Failed attempts, rebilled every single day.

Error Budget Burn Calculator

Open dedicated calculator page →

Turn an SLO into minutes. A 99.9 percent objective leaves 43.2 minutes a month. Enter what is already burned and the current burn multiple to see when the budget runs dry.

Live result · Error budget runway · Days until the budget runs dry at this burn rate.

HPA Replica Estimator

Open dedicated calculator page →

A basic single-metric HPA estimate: desired replicas equal current replicas times current utilization over target utilization, rounded up and clamped to the minimum and maximum. CPU utilization is relative to the pod CPU request. It assumes at least one replica. Other HPA behaviors are not modeled.

Live result · Desired replicas · The autoscaler formula, computed live.

Observability Sampling Fitter

Open dedicated calculator page →

Spans per second times bytes per span is your daily ingest. Price it, then compute the keep rate that fits the budget. Defaults ingest 50k spans a second at 2 KB against a $20k monthly budget.

Live result · Unsampled monthly cost · Full-fidelity ingest, priced before sampling.

Connection Pool Sizer

Open dedicated calculator page →

Conservative p99-based pool sizing: peak RPS times p99 latency in seconds, times a safety factor, spread across pods. This heuristic differs from formal Little's Law, which uses mean time in system.

Live result · Pool size · p99-based concurrency estimate and safety factor.

Downtime Cost Calculator

Open dedicated calculator page →

Minutes down times revenue per minute, and the SLA credit on the cloud bill. Assumes a 43,800-minute month. Defaults model a four-hour outage against $4M monthly revenue at risk.

Live result · Total exposure · Revenue gone and the credit you owe.
