GPT-5.4 API Pricing & Cost Calculator
GPT-5.4 is the standard workhorse for general-purpose applications. Prompt caching and batch discounts allow you to run high-intelligence workloads on a reasonable budget.
GPT-5.4 is a highly capable, general-purpose frontier model from OpenAI. It balances cost and high performance.

Cost Comparison
Based on 100,000 input tokens (50% cached), 5,000 output tokens, and 100 requests.
How this is calculated
GPT-5.4 is priced at $2.50 per million input tokens and $15.00 per million output tokens, supporting a 90% caching discount ($0.25 per million) and a 50% batch discount ($1.25 per million inputs, $7.50 per million outputs).
Verdict
At $2.50/M input and $15.00/M output a representative 100K + 5K call costs about $0.325, half GPT-5.5's $0.65 per call. A 90% cache hit strips input to $0.25/M, and the 50% batch discount drops both rows to $1.25/M input and $7.50/M output. That puts GPT-5.4 in the rare spot of carrying frontier-tier reasoning across the bulk of production traffic without wrecking the bill. Reserving it for cache-heavy agentic loops and routing stateless calls elsewhere keeps the per-token cost low enough to scale.
