Calculator
Use the interactive calculator below to estimate AI credits from plan allowance, model, expected requests, and average tokens. The model price table is based on GitHub's public Copilot model pricing docs and should be rechecked before procurement.
How The Estimate Works
The calculator multiplies requests by average input tokens, output tokens, and cached prompt tokens, applies the selected model's public price per one million tokens, then converts estimated USD model cost into AI credits at 100 credits per USD.
estimated_usd = input_million_tokens * input_price + output_million_tokens * output_price + cached_million_tokens * cached_input_price estimated_ai_credits = estimated_usd * 100
Model Cost Table Source
Model prices and included plan credits can change. The calculator should be treated as last-checked guidance, not a billing guarantee.
Team Tracking Checklist
Use this page as a lightweight tracker before moving a team from legacy request counting to AI credit budgets.
[ ] Confirm plan allowance and promotional credits. [ ] Confirm which models are enabled for the organization. [ ] Estimate monthly requests and average tokens per request. [ ] Set budgets or alerts in GitHub billing where available. [ ] Review usage after the first billing cycle.
Legacy premium requests estimate: 200 request-style prompts. AI credit usage depends on token volume and model price, so compare this estimate with GitHub billing usage before making policy decisions.
Last checked: June 28, 2026. Selected model prices per 1M tokens: input $0.25, cached input $0.025, output $2.
FAQ
How does the GitHub Copilot AI credits calculator work?
Select a Copilot plan and model, enter expected requests and average input, cached input, and output tokens, then compare estimated credits, cost, allowance, and remaining credits. For Custom / unknown, enter a custom monthly allowance.
What formula does this calculator use?
It multiplies requests by each token type and the selected model price per one million tokens, adds the input, cached-input, and output USD estimates, then converts the total to AI credits at 100 credits per USD. The page's formula and displayed model values are an estimate, not a billing statement.
Does this calculator connect to GitHub or read billing data?
No. It uses only the values entered into the page controls, makes no GitHub account or billing lookup, and cannot show account-specific usage. Compare the estimate with GitHub billing and usage settings before making a budget decision.
Are GitHub Copilot premium requests and AI credits the same?
No. This page keeps request count as a planning input, while AI credits estimate token-priced model usage. Legacy request-based billing can still apply to some annual plans, so check the official GitHub billing documentation for your plan.
Why can my GitHub usage differ from the estimate?
Actual usage can differ because the selected model, token volume, cached-token behavior, feature surface, model routing, organization policy, billing cycle, and current GitHub pricing may differ from the values entered or displayed here.
