ICP AI Canister Cost Calculator
Estimated Costs
Total Cycles Needed: 0 trillion
ICP Burned: 0 ICP
Total Cost: $0 USD
Features:
- Model Selection: Choose between different AI workloads (NLP, image gen, training)
- Usage Inputs: Set your expected queries/day and days/month
- ICP Price Adjustment: Works with any ICP market price
- Real-time Calculation: Instantly computes:
- Total cycles needed (in trillions)
- ICP to be burned
- USD cost
- Deflation Impact: Shows annual burn rate if significant
How to Use:
- Open the calculator in any web browser
- Adjust the sliders/inputs to match your use case
- See real-time cost estimates
The calculator assumes:
- 1 trillion cycles = 1 XDR ≈ 1.37 (simplified)
- Linear scaling of costs (for complex apps, actual usage may vary)
This calculator is meant for developers who want to calculate dev costs on the Internet Computer. As we know Blockchain Technology is the future of web development and I wanted to program this calculator to help devs better understand and calculate costs.
I hope you find it useful! 🙂

Great breakdown. Just FYI, one XDR (based on IMF’s SDR) is much cheaper than you thought. It is around $1.37 right now and is usually just a bit over a dollar. So that means 300 Trillion cycles will only cost a hair over $411 USD. Hope that helps seeing ICP in a much better light in terms of cost!
