Nano Banana API cost at volume: what 10, 100 and 10,000 images work out to

One image on Nano Banana costs 4 credits at default settings. At the Enterprise pack rate that scales like this:

Volume	Credits	USD
10 images	40	$0.40
100 images	400	$4.00
1,000 images	4,000	$39.95
10,000 images	40,000	$399.50

The pack ladder changes all of these

Credits are not linearly priced, so the same call costs different amounts depending on what you bought:

Pack	Per credit	One image
Basic ($6.9 / 500)	$0.0138	$0.055
Standard ($14.9 / 1200)	$0.0124	$0.050
Premium ($34.9 / 3000)	$0.0116	$0.047
Enterprise ($79.9 / 8000)	$0.0100	$0.040

The lever that matters most

Batch with n. It does not reduce cost, but 4 images in one call use one concurrency slot instead of 4 — which matters on the free tier, where the ceiling is 1.

What is not in these numbers

Failed jobs. They refund in full, so they do not appear on the bill — but they do cost you wall-clock time and a retry. How often that happens is not something this page measures; see job state failed and UPSTREAM_FAIL.
