How Many Tokens Are You Worth?
A satirical calculator that estimates the daily token cost for an AI to do your job - and what that spend looks like per month, per year, and against your salary.
Stack
- JavaScript
- HTML/CSS
A tongue-in-cheek tool that answers the question every AI pitch deck implies but never states plainly: how many tokens per day would a model actually have to burn to do your job? Pick a role, enter your hours, and it returns a daily token budget alongside the dollar cost and how it compares to a human salary.
Find out how many tokens per day an AI needs to burn to do your job. Prepare to feel replaceable.
How it works
- Job selector - choose from ~25 roles (Software Engineer, Data Scientist, Product Manager, Lawyer, CEO, …) or type your own.
- Daily token estimate - derived from the hours you work and the assumed token intensity of the role.
- Cost breakdown - daily tokens translated into a monthly and yearly spend against current API pricing.
- Salary comparison - shows the result as a percentage of a typical salary for the role.
- Model comparison - switch models to see how the replacement cost shifts with pricing.
- Shareable results - one-click share of your "worth".
Notes
API pricing is verified against recent provider rates. The calculator is satire :)
