AI coding tool cost calculator

Estimate what your engineering team spends across subscriptions, API usage, and overages. Then test a conservative savings scenario before changing a single license.

Runs in your browser. No email, account, or data upload.

Your current setup

Use blended averages if your team has several tools or plan tiers.

For example, 1.5 means half the team has a second paid tool.
Include premium requests, agent credits, and direct API bills.

Turn a budget guess into a decision

The calculator keeps the math explicit. BurnRate then measures whether spend matches actual usage.

1

Count the full stack

Include overlapping subscriptions, premium requests, direct API usage, and overages—not just the most visible seat invoice.

2

Compare spend with usage

Check whether expensive tiers and duplicate licenses match how each developer actually works.

3

Model before changing

Use the selected percentage as a scenario. Validate it against actual usage before cancelling tools or changing workflows.

Questions

What the estimate includes—and what it does not.

How is monthly spend calculated?

Developers × paid subscriptions per developer × average monthly subscription price, plus monthly API and overage spend. All figures come from you.

Does BurnRate receive my calculator inputs?

The math runs locally in your browser. The calculator does not ask for an email address, company name, invoices, or usage files.

Is the savings figure a guarantee?

No. It is a scenario based on the percentage you select. Actual opportunities vary by licenses, usage patterns, pricing, and engineering workflows.

What does BurnRate measure?

BurnRate parses local AI coding-tool sessions to show provider usage, model activity, estimated cost, and optimization opportunities. Raw prompts and source code stay on your machine.
