ModelBudgetCalc Puts Ollama Costs on a Cash Basis

Field notes

The calculator begins with token quantities rather than a model name alone: input and output volume, cached-input share, requests per day, active billing days, and peak-period share all affect the estimate. It then compares consumption value with monthly plan charges, included credits, and overage, while a separate form estimates remaining-credit runway. The displayed rates cover six Ollama-hosted models, including distinct cached-input values and a 2× peak multiplier for two DeepSeek models during the stated UTC window.
