AI Document Summarization Cost Calculator

Calculate how much it costs to summarize documents, reports, and articles with AI.

How We Calculate This

Document summarization typically involves sending large chunks of text (8,000+ tokens for a multi-page document) and receiving a concise summary (~1,000 tokens). Organizations processing 100 documents per day need models with large context windows.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest way to summarize documents with AI?
Gemini 2.0 Flash and DeepSeek V3 offer the best value for document summarization, costing under $0.50/day for 100 documents. They handle long contexts well at a fraction of flagship model prices.
Can AI summarize a 100-page PDF?
Yes, but you need a model with a large context window. Gemini 2.0 Flash (1M tokens), Claude Opus 4.6 (200K tokens), and GPT-5.2 (1M tokens) can handle very long documents in a single request.
How many tokens is a typical document?
A single page of text is roughly 300-400 tokens. A 10-page report is ~3,500 tokens. A 50-page document is ~17,500 tokens. Token count varies by formatting and language.
