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 Mistral Large 3 cost per 1M tokens?
Mistral Large 3 costs $0.500 per million input tokens and $1.50 per million output tokens at Mistral AI list prices. Output is 3.0x the input rate, so the input:output ratio of a workload drives the real cost more than the headline price.
Does Mistral Large 3 support prompt caching?
Yes. Cached input is billed at $0.050 per million tokens, 10x cheaper than uncached input. There is no cache-write premium, so caching is never a net loss.
What is the batch discount for Mistral Large 3?
Requests submitted through the asynchronous batch endpoint are billed at 50% off both input and output rates, bringing input to $0.250 and output to $0.750 per million tokens.
What is Mistral Large 3's context window?
256K tokens of context with up to 8.2K 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.
