README

ai-costs is an unofficial PHP library for calculating LLM API costs from usage payloads.

It is designed to stay SDK-agnostic: feed it an OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, or Google Gemini usage payload, or a normalized usage object, and it returns a detailed cost breakdown.

Warning

This library provides estimates only. I do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or fitness of the calculated values for any billing purpose. The amounts actually billed by the provider are authoritative and always take precedence.

Units

All calculated cost values are returned as integers in usd_microcent.

  • usd_microcent is the only money unit used by this package
  • 1 USD = 100_000 usd_microcent
  • 1 usd_microcent = 0.00001 USD = 0.001 cents
  • 1 cent = 1_000 usd_microcent
  • Provider APIs do not return money amounts; they return usage counts, and this package converts those counts into estimated usd_microcent
  • Public variable and method names use explicit unit suffixes like InUsdMicrocent
  • The package returns integers only

Current scope

  • OpenAI Responses API usage extraction
  • OpenAI Chat Completions API usage extraction
  • Anthropic Messages API usage extraction
  • Google Gemini generateContent usage extraction
  • Text token pricing for selected GPT-5.6, GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, Claude, and Gemini 2.5 models
  • GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna across standard, batch, flex, and selected priority
  • Generic OpenAI cache-write token pricing and Anthropic 5-minute and 1-hour cache writes
  • Automatic long-context pricing where a documented threshold exists
  • Explicit short- or long-context selection through ContextPricingMode
  • Time-dependent static price cards such as Claude Sonnet 5 introductory and regular pricing
  • Helper charges for web search, file search, fixed 20-minute container sessions, and eligible minute-billed container sessions

Installation

composer require 1manfactory/ai-costs

Quick start

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use AiCosts\CostCalculator;
use AiCosts\Enum\BillingMode;
use AiCosts\OpenAI\OpenAIResponsesUsageExtractor;
use AiCosts\OpenAI\OpenAIToolPricing;
use AiCosts\Pricing\StaticPriceProvider;
use AiCosts\Value\BillingContext;

$payload = [
    'model' => 'gpt-5.4',
    'usage' => [
        'input_tokens' => 1200,
        'input_tokens_details' => ['cached_tokens' => 200],
        'output_tokens' => 300,
        'output_tokens_details' => ['reasoning_tokens' => 50],
    ],
];

$extractor = new OpenAIResponsesUsageExtractor();
$usage = $extractor->extract($payload);

$calculator = new CostCalculator(StaticPriceProvider::default());
$breakdown = $calculator->calculate(
    $usage,
    new BillingContext(
        billingMode: BillingMode::STANDARD,
        additionalCharges: [
            OpenAIToolPricing::webSearchCalls(3),
        ],
    ),
);

echo $breakdown->inputCostInUsdMicrocent;
echo $breakdown->cachedInputCostInUsdMicrocent;
echo $breakdown->outputCostInUsdMicrocent;
echo $breakdown->additionalChargesInUsdMicrocent;
echo $breakdown->totalCostInUsdMicrocent;

Included building blocks

  • AiCosts\CostCalculator
  • AiCosts\Pricing\StaticPriceProvider
  • AiCosts\OpenAI\OpenAIResponsesUsageExtractor
  • AiCosts\OpenAI\OpenAIChatCompletionsUsageExtractor
  • AiCosts\Anthropic\AnthropicMessagesUsageExtractor
  • AiCosts\Gemini\GeminiGenerateContentUsageExtractor
  • AiCosts\OpenAI\OpenAIToolPricing

Pricing catalog metadata

$catalog = StaticPriceProvider::default();

echo $catalog->version;
echo $catalog->provider('openai')->verifiedAt;

foreach ($catalog->provider('openai')->sourceUrls as $sourceUrl) {
    echo $sourceUrl . PHP_EOL;
}
  • version identifies the revision of the bundled pricing catalog.
  • verifiedAt is the last verification date recorded for that provider.
  • sourceUrls lists the official documentation URLs used for that provider and the global catalog.
  • The metadata does not prove that prices remained unchanged after the recorded verification date.

More examples

GPT-5.6 with automatic long-context detection

use AiCosts\Value\UsageBreakdown;

$usage = new UsageBreakdown(
    model: 'gpt-5.6',
    inputTokens: 300_000,
    cachedInputTokens: 20_000,
    outputTokens: 10_000,
    cacheWriteInputTokens: 30_000,
);

GPT-5.5 Pro with explicit long context

use AiCosts\Enum\ContextPricingMode;

new BillingContext(
    billingMode: BillingMode::STANDARD,
    contextPricingMode: ContextPricingMode::LONG,
);

Long-context prices for gpt-5.5-pro are included in the catalog. Automatic switching stays disabled because the official model page does not document a threshold, so ContextPricingMode::LONG is the explicit opt-in.

Sonnet 5 with a fixed pricing date

use DateTimeImmutable;

$provider = StaticPriceProvider::default(
    new DateTimeImmutable('2026-08-31'),
);

$provider = StaticPriceProvider::default(
    new DateTimeImmutable('2026-09-01'),
);

Minute-billed container sessions

OpenAIToolPricing::containerSessionMinutes(
    memoryGb: 4,
    durationMinutes: 13,
);

Notes

  • The packaged price catalog is intentionally static and versioned in the repo.
  • Long-context thresholds are only auto-applied where the threshold is explicitly documented in OpenAI model docs.
  • gpt-5.5-pro long-context prices are included, but automatic switching remains disabled because no official threshold is documented.
  • Anthropic prompt caching reads plus 5-minute and 1-hour cache writes are supported when the API response includes the detailed usage.cache_creation breakdown.
  • OpenAI generic cache writes are supported when usage payloads report cache_write_tokens.
  • Gemini support currently targets the stable gemini-2.5-* text-output models included in the bundled catalog.
  • Explicit Gemini cache storage charges and grounding/tool surcharges are not auto-derived from a single response payload in this MVP.
  • Audio token pricing is intentionally blocked in this MVP so the library does not undercount usage silently.
  • All calculated values are estimates only; authoritative billing always comes from the respective provider.
  • Claude and Gemini usage is estimated from official public pricing docs for the selected models bundled here; provider billing remains authoritative.
  • Canonical cost outputs are integer usd_microcent.
  • The package is not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google.
  • This package is licensed under the MIT License.

Development

Run the local PHP checks manually with Composer:

composer lint:syntax
composer lint:phpstan
composer lint:phpmd
composer lint:phpcs
composer lint:all

The versioned Git hook lives in .githooks/pre-commit and this repository is configured to use it via git config core.hooksPath .githooks.

Every git commit runs composer lint:all; the commit is blocked immediately when one of the checks fails.

Release flow

This repository uses a GitHub Actions workflow at .github/workflows/release-tag.yml to create a new patch tag on every push to main.

  • First release tag: v0.1.0
  • Later pushes on main: v0.1.1, v0.1.2, v0.1.3, ...

That means the publishing path is:

local repository -> GitHub main -> automatic Git tag -> Packagist update

After the repository is submitted once on Packagist, each new Git tag becomes a new Composer-installable package version.

Pricing sources

The bundled pricing catalog is based on official provider docs as of 2026-07-15.

On 2026-07-15, the bundled model prices and helper charges were re-checked against the official pricing pages linked below. Gemini 2.5 catalog values remained unchanged in this verification pass; OpenAI and Claude entries were expanded to include GPT-5.6, explicit OpenAI cache writes, minute-billed eligible container sessions, Claude Fable 5, Claude Opus 4.8, and dated Claude Sonnet 5 pricing.
