How do I calculate my actual Moonshot bill?
Multiply your input tokens by the input rate and your output tokens by the output rate, both per million, then add retries and any conversation history resent on each turn. Calcaas does this against your real usage pattern and shows the margin left at your price point.

What will this actually cost you?
Per-token rates only tell you half the story. Calcaas multiplies them by your real usage — prompt size, response length, retries and conversation history — then shows the margin left at your price point.
