Frequently asked questions

GPT-5 cost on Azure OpenAI.

How much does GPT-5 cost on Azure OpenAI? GPT-5 is priced at $0.00125 per 1,000 input tokens and $0.01 per 1,000 output tokens (illustrative East US rates, verified 1 Jun 2026). A request with 2,000 input and 800 output tokens costs about $0.0105.
When is provisioned throughput (PTU) cheaper than pay-as-you-go for GPT-5? Once steady monthly usage passes roughly 233,143 requests per month at typical token sizes, the PTU floor of $2,448 per month beats pay-as-you-go token spend. Below that, pay-as-you-go is cheaper — and PTU should only be committed if your tokens-per-minute throughput justifies the minimum deployment.
What is the minimum PTU deployment for GPT-5? 15 provisioned throughput units, about $2,448 per month on a one-month reservation (illustrative). Verify current minimums and rates against the Azure pricing page before committing.
