Frequently asked questions
How much does Amazon Nova Lite cost per 1M tokens?
Amazon Nova Lite costs $0.060 per million input tokens and $0.240 per million output tokens at Amazon Bedrock list prices. Output is 4.0x the input rate, so the input:output ratio of your workload drives the real cost more than the headline price.
Does Amazon Nova Lite support prompt caching?
Amazon Nova Lite has no published prompt-caching rate, so repeated context is billed at the full input rate on every request.
What is the batch discount for Amazon Nova Lite?
Requests submitted through the asynchronous batch endpoint are billed at 50% off both input and output rates, bringing input to $0.030 and output to $0.120 per million tokens.
What is Amazon Nova Lite's context window?
300K tokens of context with up to 5.0K 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.
