The Golden Ratio: Words to Tokens

A standard rule of thumb for OpenAI and Anthropics’ LLMs is that 1 token ≈ ¾ of a word (or 100 tokens ≈ 75 words). This calculator automatically applies a 1.33x multiplier to your raw word count to estimate the resulting token footprint.

Optimization Rule: Code snippets, JSON, and non-English languages consume significantly more tokens per word than standard English text. If your application handles a lot of raw data parsing, pad these estimates by an additional 20-30% to prevent budget overruns.
