About This Tool

So, I was knee-deep in another long chat with ChatGPT the other day—working on a project, refining prompts, tweaking responses—and I kept wondering: how many tokens am I actually using? I mean, I know there’s a limit, but it’s not always clear how close I am to hitting it. That’s when I started looking for a simple way to check. And honestly, most tools either overcomplicate it or don’t give you enough detail. That’s why I put together this ChatGPT Token Calculator. It’s not fancy. It just works.

It’s basically a no-nonsense tool that counts how many tokens your text uses. Whether you’re pasting in a prompt, a response, or a whole conversation thread, it breaks it down so you can see exactly where you stand. No guesswork. No fluff. Just numbers you can actually use.

Key Features

  • Instant token count for any input—paste and go.
  • Shows breakdown by message, so you can spot heavy hitters in long chats.
  • Works with prompts, responses, and full conversation logs.
  • Supports all major models (GPT-3.5, GPT-4, etc.) with accurate tokenization.
  • No login, no tracking—your text never leaves your browser.
  • Mobile-friendly. Yeah, it works on your phone too.

FAQ

Q: Why should I care about token count?
A: Because tokens cost money and eat into your context window. If you’re building something or just trying to stay under a limit, knowing your token usage helps you optimize. It’s like checking your gas gauge before a road trip.

Q: Does this tool store my data?
A: Nope. Everything runs locally in your browser. I don’t collect, save, or send your text anywhere. Privacy isn’t a feature here—it’s the default.
