This tool is a simple xAI Grok token calculator that helps you estimate the number of tokens your input text might consume when working with Grok models. Just paste your content and get an instant approximation based on a general character-to-token ratio.
Whether you’re testing input sizes or planning prompts, this tool offers a fast way to get a token estimate without needing deep knowledge of how tokenizers work behind the scenes.
Calculate Tokens In Your Text
Using the tool below, paste the text you want to calculate the number of tokens for and click submit to get the result.
How Does This Token Estimator Work?
This estimator gives a quick calculation of how many tokens your text might require when used with Grok models developed by xAI. A token might be a whole word, part of a word, a punctuation mark, or even just whitespace. On average, a single token equals about four characters of English text.
The Grok tokenizer has not been publicly documented in detail, but based on its architecture, it likely follows similar rules to other LLMs using BPE-style tokenization. This tool uses that average ratio to offer a practical estimate—ideal for testing prompt sizes, checking API limits, or planning usage across the platform.
