About Chunk Size Calculator
Chunk Size Calculator is used to find the optimal chunk size for a RAG system by modeling retrieval quality trade-offs at different chunk sizes for a given use case. It works by: it estimates precision, recall, and cost metrics at different chunk sizes to help identify the sweet spot for your document type and query patterns. There is no universally optimal chunk size — FAQ-style content works well at 128-256 tokens, while technical documentation typically benefits from 512-1024 token chunks. Chunk Size Calculator runs free in your browser at abovetool.com — no signup required.
