Output seconds
Multiply the selected duration by every requested output, including variants that may never ship.

Estimate a production batch
The calculator uses the documented $0.10 per output second as a planning baseline. Input charges, account pricing, failed tasks, and provider changes can alter the final bill.
$2.20
Estimated output cost
4.4
Expected total jobs
$0.10/s
Planning rate
The estimate is within the selected batch budget.
Plan beyond the listed unit rate
Video costs grow through discarded drafts, retries, reference preparation, and delivery requirements.
Retry allowance
Reserve budget for safety-policy failures, provider errors, and creative results that require another attempt.
Input and storage
Track possible input processing, asset storage, download, and long-term media retention costs separately.
Budget enforcement
Set a per-task ceiling, a daily account limit, and an alert before a campaign can consume the full balance.
Turn estimates into guardrails
Cost control should be enforced in the product, not left in a spreadsheet.
Calculate before submit
Show duration, quantity, unit rate, and the estimated maximum cost beside the generation button.
Reserve credits
Hold the task budget before calling the provider so parallel jobs cannot overspend the account.
Classify the failure
Refund provider failures when appropriate and charge intentional user retries according to a clear policy.
Review accepted-output cost
Measure total spend divided by approved clips to see the real economics of each model and template.
Production cost controls
These controls matter most when the model is in Preview or demand is bursty.

Daily user and account limit
Concurrent job limit

Gemini Omni API pricing questions
How is the estimate calculated?
The calculator multiplies output duration by planned outputs, adds the selected retry percentage, and applies a $0.10 per output second planning rate.
Are input charges included?
No. The calculator focuses on output video seconds. Review current pricing for text, image, audio, video input, storage, and any provider-specific fees.
Why include retries?
A usable clip often takes more than one attempt. Retry rate makes the planning estimate closer to the cost of accepted output.
Should I use prepaid credits or BYOK?
Either can work. Prepaid credits simplify user experience and enforce limits. BYOK can reduce platform exposure but adds key security and support requirements.
