Estimate · gemini-tokenizer-estimate · ≈3.85 chars/token Auto-counts as you type

This is a chars-per-token approximation, not a real tokenizer. Actual tokens vary by language, code density, and tool-call overhead — counts are typically ±10–20% off for English prose, more for code or non-Latin scripts. For exact billing, use the vendor's official tokenizer.

Frequently asked.

Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite pricing questions, with archive/deprecation status separated from token math.

Q · 01 What is Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite's API price? +
Google still lists this row on the live Gemini pricing page. The page uses $0.075/M input and $0.3/M output.
Q · 02 Is Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite still available? +
It is deprecated. Google's pricing page warns that gemini-2-0-flash-lite was shut down on 2026-06-01, with gemini-2-5-flash-lite as the migration target.
Q · 03 Does prompt caching apply? +
No current cache price is listed for this model. For blended math, this page treats cached input as regular input at $0.075/M rather than inventing a discount.
Q · 04 How should I use this page? +
Use it to estimate legacy spend during migration and to compare the old 2.0 rate against current Gemini 2.5 and Gemini 3 alternatives. New production work should move to the recommended replacement before shutdown.
Q · 05 What about Batch and Flex pricing? +
Batch is listed at $0.0375/M input and $0.15/M output. Context caching is not available for Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite.
Q · 06 How accurate is the tokenizer estimate? +
The widget uses 4.0 characters per token as a Gemini planning estimate. Exact billing can differ by language, media inputs, tool calls, and how Google tokenizes multimodal content.
