Tokens to words converter
Rough Approx converter for English budgeting, not Exact tokenization. For OpenAI Exact counts, use the tokenizer.

Need Exact counts?
Paste the same text into the tokenizer with an OpenAI model for Exact o200k counts, or pick another model for labeled Approx counts tied to pricing.

Tokens ↔ words FAQ
- Is this Exact tokenization?
- No. This page uses a rough English heuristic (~4 characters per token, ~0.75 words per token). For Exact OpenAI encodings, use the tokenizer.
- Why do code and other languages differ?
- Code, URLs, and non-English text often use more tokens per word or character. Treat these numbers as budgeting shortcuts, then verify with Exact counts or provider tools.
- Should I use this for API billing?
- Use it for ballpark planning only. Billing follows each provider’s tokenizer. Open TokenCalculator’s main tokenizer/cost calculator for model-specific Exact or Approx counts.
