A rate per million tokens is not a budget. The calculator takes your request volume, prompt size and cache hit rate and gives you a monthly figure.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Amazon Nova 2 Lite cost per 1M tokens?

Amazon Nova 2 Lite costs $0.300 per million input tokens and $2.50 per million output tokens at Amazon Bedrock list prices. Output is 8.3x the input rate, so the input:output ratio of your workload drives the real cost more than the headline price.

Does Amazon Nova 2 Lite support prompt caching?

Yes. Cached input is billed at $0.075 per million tokens, 4x cheaper than uncached input. There is no cache-write premium, so caching is never a net loss.

What is the batch discount for Amazon Nova 2 Lite?

Requests submitted through the asynchronous batch endpoint are billed at 50% off both input and output rates, bringing input to $0.150 and output to $1.25 per million tokens.

What is Amazon Nova 2 Lite's context window?

1.0M tokens of context with up to 66K output tokens per request. A larger context window raises the ceiling on what you can send, not the price per token, but filling it on every request is one of the most common causes of an unexpected bill.
