Remaining input budget

—

Use the actual tokenizer and provider limits. Context windows, output caps, hidden overhead and prices are not fetched or verified here.

Formula

Use A = W−S−H−O. W is context capacity, S is system and tool tokens, H is existing history, O is reserved output, and A is remaining input capacity. All terms are token counts.

Reserve output space and calculate remaining input capacity.

Scope and limitations

Use the actual tokenizer and provider limits. Context windows, output caps, hidden overhead and prices are not fetched or verified here.

Inputs are checked for missing values and allowed ranges. A result outside the finite numeric range is not displayed. Rounding affects display, while the calculation uses the model’s numeric precision.

Check your units and assumptions before relying on a result. Changing a label does not convert a currency or physical unit.
