Amazon Nova Micro: estimated monthly cost
Formula: provider-specific cached input multiplier × cache rate, plus uncached input and verbosity-adjusted output; cache writes are amortised over the provider TTL, then batch savings are applied.
| Per request | $0.000 |
|---|---|
| Per day | $0.404 |
| Per month | $12.12 |
| Per year | $145 |

The billing gotcha
Amazon Nova is billed through AWS Bedrock rather than a standalone Nova account: the token estimate below covers model input and output charges, while your real invoice can also include regional AWS data-transfer, guardrail, knowledge-base, or orchestration costs. Nova's batch discount applies to eligible asynchronous Bedrock jobs, so selecting a batch share is only realistic when your application can submit and collect work later instead of waiting on Converse synchronously.
