FAQ’s

01 Is this calculator accurate for all providers?

The calculator uses publicly available pricing data for major AI and ML cloud services and typical configuration assumptions. It provides a strong approximation, though actual costs may vary based on your negotiated discounts, reserved capacity, and regional pricing differences.

02 Does this replace a full cost analysis tool or quote from providers?

No. This is an estimation tool designed for quick planning and forecasting. For exact pricing, you’ll need provider-specific quotes and actual usage data.

03 Is my data safe when using the calculator?

Yes. The calculator doesn’t require credentials or billing data. All inputs are entered manually, and results aren’t stored unless you choose to submit them. Finout follows enterprise-grade security and compliance standards.

04 What do the advanced options like context cache and grounding do?

These options let you fine-tune your estimate by including factors such as context caching or grounding, which can influence model efficiency and total spend.
