Savings calculator

Formula: Annual Savings = (Daily Queries × Tokens per Query × Compression Ratio × Cost per Token) × 365

Example: 10,000 queries/day × 4,000 tokens/query × 65% compression × $2.50/1M tokens × 365 = $23,725/year

Frequently asked questions

What is the ROI on implementing compression?

For most teams, compression pays for itself within the first day of implementation.

Do these savings include the compression cost?

Compression itself costs ~60ms of CPU time — essentially free compared to LLM API costs.

Build with less context

Put compression in front of your next LLM call.

Use the hosted API or run SuperCompress locally. Keep the evidence, drop the token waste, and measure the savings before it reaches your model.
