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.Prices are fetched live from OpenRouter and may include temporary promotional discounts not accounted for in our article and comparison figures.
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.
