The repository contains:
- A Python script for detailed token cost analysis, which processes a JSON file of exported ChatGPT conversations.
- An HTML + JavaScript application that allows for local analysis of token costs directly in a web browser, ensuring full privacy and offline functionality.
This part of the repository contains a Python script for analyzing the costs associated with tokens generated from ChatGPT export chats. The script extracts messages from a JSON file, calculates the number of tokens used, and determines the costs for input and output tokens. Additionally, it groups the costs by month and saves the results in a CSV file.
- Python 3.x
- Python modules:
json,pandas,datetime,tiktoken
- Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/levysoft/chatgpt-token-cost-analysis.git
- Install the required packages using one of the following methods:
- Method 1: Install specific packages
pip install pandas tiktoken
- Method 2: Install packages using requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Method 1: Install specific packages
- Place your
conversations.jsonfile in the main directory of the project. - Run the script:
python chatgpt_token_cost_analysis.py
cost_per_million_input_tokens: Cost per million input tokens (5.00 USD)cost_per_million_output_tokens: Cost per million output tokens (15.00 USD)
The script loads the conversations.json file and handles any exceptions during loading.
The extract_messages(data) function extracts messages from the nested JSON data and converts them into a pandas DataFrame.
The calculate_tokens(text) function uses the cl100k_base encoding to calculate the number of tokens in each message.
The script separates input and output tokens and calculates the associated costs.
The total chat costs are calculated using OpenAI API pricing for GPT-4 (https://openai.com/api/pricing/).
The costs are calculated separately for input tokens (user) and output tokens (assistant), using specific pricing for GPT-4.
The results are grouped by month and saved to a CSV file costs_per_month.csv.

This HTML page does not use the tiktoken library, which is unavailable in JavaScript, but rather utilizes the gpt-tokenizer library.
- Accessibility: This HTML page can be downloaded and run locally by anyone without needing to set up a Python environment.
- Comprehensive Model Support: Unlike the Python script, the HTML page includes support for multiple models with varying token costs, allowing for more flexible analysis.
- Local Privacy: The page ensures the privacy of your sensitive data because it works entirely locally. Your JSON file containing private chats is never uploaded to a remote server.
- Download the Page: Click the download link on the page to save it for offline use.
- Select the Model: Choose the appropriate model from the dropdown menu. You can select from all available OpenAI models and, experimentally, from Claude and Gemini models.
- Upload Your JSON File: Select your
conversations.jsonfile to analyze. Implemented JSON format validation to ensure the uploaded file adheres to the required structure. - View Results: The analysis results, including total and monthly costs, will be displayed directly on the page.
This web-based tool provides a more user-friendly and comprehensive way to analyze token costs for various models and use cases.
To ensure the privacy of your data and provide functionality even when offline, the HTML page includes a mechanism to load the GPTTokenizer_cl100k_base encoder from a local source if the remote JavaScript file is not accessible. By default, the page attempts to load the tokenizer from the remote URL https://unpkg.com/gpt-tokenizer. If this remote file is not available, the script will then try to load a local version of the tokenizer (cl100k_base.js).
Here's a brief overview of how it works:
- The
checkGPTTokenizerfunction first attempts to load theGPTTokenizer_cl100k_baseencoder from the remote source. - If the remote file is not accessible, it attempts to load the local
cl100k_base.jsfile. - If neither the remote nor local files are available, the script falls back to a rough approximation based on the number of words in the text. This fallback method, while not as precise, provides a useful estimate of token usage.
To use the local version of the tokenizer, make sure to download cl100k_base.js and place it in the same directory as the HTML file. This approach ensures that your data remains private and the functionality is available even without an internet connection.
This enhancement makes the tool more privacy-compliant and ensures that users can analyze their chat data under any network conditions.
Note: I could have made the HTML file a true single-page application for offline use by including the cl100k_base.js JavaScript file directly in the HTML. However, since this file is quite large (over 2 MB of data), it would have made the HTML file difficult to read and analyze if viewed directly.
You can try the online version of the HTML page here: https://www.levysoft.it/chatgpt-costs.
You can always always download the HTML page and use it locally and offline. To do this, make sure you also download the JavaScript library cl100k_base.js. The page will work in total privacy without requiring an internet connection.
Here is a screenshot of the web page:

Make sure to download the page and use it offline for maximum privacy and security.
To analyze your ChatGPT chat history with our tools, you first need to export your data from ChatGPT. Here’s how you can do it:
- Sign in to ChatGPT.
- In the top right corner of the page, click on your profile icon.
- Click on Settings.
- Go to the Data Controls menu.
- Under Export Data, click Export.
- In the confirmation screen, click Confirm export.
You should receive an email with your data. Note that the link in the email expires after 24 hours. Click on Download data export to download a .zip file. This file includes your chat history in chat.html as well as other data associated with your account.
In the .zip file, you will find both chat.html and conversations.json. The conversations.json file is the one required for processing with our tools.
This functionality is available on both Free and Plus plans. It is not available to users who are logged out.
For more details you can visit the How do I export my ChatGPT history and data?.
If you follow these steps, you will have your chat data ready for analysis using our Python script or HTML page.
The following table shows the updated costs for various models as of June 29, 2024. The HTML page is based on this table. You can verify the prices for OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini models using the following links:
The costs for Claude and Gemini models are experimental as they are expected to function similarly to GPT models in terms of token calculation. However, I reserve the right to verify these costs further.
