Regional processing and FedRAMP add 10% where the model and route are eligible; region eligibility is separate from a quoted tariff. Server-side tools and their tokens can add charges. The model card applies the >272K surcharge to the full session in Standard/Batch/Flex. Row captions say <272K while the table band definition says <=272K; confirm any boundary-sensitive billing. Cache-write cells are not quoted.

Answered from the verified figures on this page rather than general guidance.

How much does GPT-5.4 cost per million tokens?
GPT-5.4 lists base rates of $2.50 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens. Estimate both input and output token volume and any additional charges for your workload.

What is GPT-5.4's context window?
GPT-5.4 accepts about 1.05M tokens of context. That only matters if you routinely send very long documents, large codebases, or multi-turn histories that approach that limit.
What is GPT-5.4 best for?
