gemini-3.6-flashAt Gemini 3.6 Flash's rates ($1.5 per 1M input tokens, $7.5 per 1M output), a call with 1,000 input and 500 output tokens costs $0.00525. At 10,000 requests a month, that workload runs $52.50. A heavier call — a 100,000-token prompt returning 2,000 tokens — costs $0.165.
Within Google Gemini's lineup, Gemini 3.6 Flash runs 17.5× the per-call cost of Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite and 1.5× less than Gemini 3.1 Pro at this workload.
Cache-read input is billed at $0.15 per 1M tokens — 90% below the standard input rate, so a long system prompt reused across calls mostly bills at the discounted rate.

Token counter
Token counts are exact for OpenAI models (tiktoken o200k_base, run in your browser). For other providers the count is an estimate — notably Claude Opus 4.7+/Sonnet 5 and similar newer models use a tokenizer that produces roughly 30% more tokens for the same text.
