AI Integration Cost Calculator for Mid-Market B2B & SaaS Teams

Estimate the first-year cost of an AI integration using your own usage assumptions, supplier rates and delivery budget. A useful business case includes implementation, retrieval infrastructure, model usage, evaluation and ongoing support. Token charges alone do not represent the full cost.

This calculator is a planning tool, not a Fiibix quotation or a vendor price list. Enter rates in INR after applying your chosen exchange rate. Use current supplier quotes and include applicable taxes in your assumptions.

Build Your AI Cost Estimate

Enter all assumptions, including zero where a cost does not apply, then calculate.

How the Calculation Works

  • Monthly model cost: requests × ((input tokens × input rate + output tokens × output rate) ÷ 1,000,000).
  • Monthly operating cost: model cost + the other monthly costs you enter.
  • First-year planning total: (one-time delivery budget + 12 × monthly operating cost) × (1 + contingency ÷ 100).

The estimate assumes constant usage for 12 months. It excludes costs you do not enter and does not model cache discounts, batch discounts, volume tiers, separate reasoning-token charges, repeated model calls, training, currency changes or annual price changes. Adjust the inputs to reflect your chosen architecture.

What Belongs in an Enterprise AI Budget?

One-time delivery: discovery, data cleanup, connectors, permission mapping, workflow integration, evaluation design, security testing, training and rollout. A narrow internal assistant and a production agent that writes into an ERP have different scopes and approval requirements.

Recurring operations: embeddings and re-indexing, vector or hybrid search, hosting, observability, evaluation runs, backups, support and maintenance. Include these in the other monthly costs field alongside model usage.

Commercial review: compare the annual estimate against a measured baseline such as handling time, resolution rate or throughput. Define who owns quality failures and ongoing improvements before assuming a return on investment.
