I am using OpenAI and Speech service for one of my solutions. I am facing issue in cost calculation for these two services. I am using gpt-4-turbo model.

Open AI Rate as per documentation is $0.01 per 1000 tokens for input tokens and $0.03 per 1000 tokens for output tokens and Speech service Rate is $1 per hour for speech to text and $16 per million characters for Text to speech.

In my use-case:

For OpenAI I used "totalInputTokens": 124011, "totalOutputTokens": 17366. Cost according to the rate should be $1.76109 but from the CostAnalysis I am getting $4.2.

Similarly for speech service as per my usage the cost should be $0.6533 but on the CostAnalysis I am getting $0.94.

Is there any way to calculate the cost of OpenAI and Speech service more accurately?

    Uzair Mazhar Greetings & Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum!

    I understand that you are calculating prices based on the input tokens and output tokens used.

    Check if you have included any additional infrastructure costs that might accrue while using Azure OpenAI Service?

    Azure OpenAI Service runs on Azure infrastructure that accrues costs when you deploy new resources. There could be other infrastructure costs that might accrue. The following sections describe how you're charged for Azure OpenAI Service.

    I would suggest you, please check Plan to manage costs for Azure OpenAI Service and Understand Cost Management data for more details.

    Also, see Azure AI Speech pricing calculator and Azure OpenAI Service pricing for calculating the prices.

    If that doesn't help, you can always reach out to support by creating a free billing support ticket. for more clarity on your billing spends. See Create a support ticket for details.

    Do let me know if you have any further queries.
