Formula & Mathematical Methodology: AI Image Generation Cost Calculator

Billable Images = Daily Images \times Days \times (1 + Extra Generation Rate) Monthly Cost = Billable Images \times Price per Image

: Requested images per day
: Days per month
: Extra generation fraction
: Entered cost per image

Rounding: Displayed values are rounded for readability; calculations retain full floating-point precision.

Worked Example: 100 requested images per day with 25% extra generations

Use 30 days and $0.04 per image for the selected generation settings.

Count requested monthly images.
Add the reroll allowance.
Multiply billable images by the entered unit price.

Result: Estimated spend is based on billed images, including the reroll allowance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why include extra generations?

Many workflows generate variants or retry outputs. Set this to zero if every request creates exactly one billed image.
