AI video cost calculator

Verified 2026-08-25 · 20 public video models · calculations run locally in your browser

Plan a real production, not a single ideal generation. Choose a model and legal output setting, then include the number of finished shots and the completed creative rerolls you expect. The calculator uses the same Tovaki credit formula as the public model pages and exposes any billed-duration adjustment instead of hiding it.

What the estimate actually answers

Current model contract

Only public, non-test video models and their currently priced resolutions are selectable. Unsupported combinations never fall back to an invented number.

Billed, not imagined, duration

Discrete models such as Veo and Kling can bill a supported tier above the requested length. The adjustment appears beside the result.

Creative reroll budget

A usable shot often takes more than one completed generation. Multiplying by charged generations per finished shot turns a demo price into a production estimate.

Exact native-audio mode

Automatic audio stays included. Optional priced audio shows its multiplier. Models without a native-audio path do not get a fictional toggle.

Worked production example

Twelve 5-second Seedance 2.0 shots at 720p, with two completed generations per usable shot, means 24 charged generations. At 100 credits each, the estimate is 2400 credits.

Calculation method and boundaries

Per-generation credits come from Tovaki's current per-model pricing snapshot and the production billing mirror used by model pages. The calculator does not scrape or guess a vendor's direct API price.

For enumerated duration models, an in-between request snaps upward to the next supported tier. For continuous-range models, the calculator accepts whole seconds within the current integration bounds.

Total credits equal per-generation credits × finished shots × charged generations per finished shot. A charged generation is a completed output, whether accepted or rejected for creative reasons. Technical failures covered by Tovaki's failed-generation refund policy are not added.

The subscription reference uses current public plan unit rates ($0.0124 – $0.0136 per credit); the top-up reference uses current paid credits plus stated pack bonuses ($0.0125 – $0.0140 per credit). These conversions are planning aids, not a checkout quote.

Scope: Tovaki's current integration only. This page does not rank visual quality, predict generation latency, promise provider availability or disclose supplier procurement costs.

Auditable data and machine-readable contract

Reuse the calculator rules without copying numbers out of the interface. The compact contract defines inputs, duration snapping, reroll semantics and USD references; the versioned model dataset supplies the current rates and integration limits.

AI video cost calculator FAQ

Is this a vendor API pricing calculator?

No. It estimates credits for the models as currently integrated and priced inside Tovaki. Vendor direct prices, promotions and billing units can differ.

Why can billed duration exceed my requested duration?

Some providers expose only fixed duration tiers. Tovaki canonicalizes an in-between request to the next supported tier, and the calculator makes that billed tier visible.

Should I count failed generations as rerolls?

Count completed outputs you reject or revise for creative reasons. Do not add provider or technical failures covered by Tovaki's failed-generation refund policy.

Does the lowest credit estimate identify the best video model?

No. Cost, duration, resolution and native-audio delivery are factual filters; visual quality and fit require a controlled benchmark or your own prompt-level test.

Check the source rate before you generate

Inspect every model's current duration, resolution, audio and credit contract, then compare it with the plan that fits your volume.
