About Context Usage Calculator
Context Usage Calculator is used to analyze what percentage of a model's context window is consumed by the system prompt, conversation history, and retrieved documents in a RAG pipeline. It works by: it tallies the token counts of each context component and shows a breakdown of context usage as a percentage of the model's total context window. In production RAG systems, system prompt + retrieved chunks often consume 60-80% of the context — monitor context usage to avoid silent truncation of conversation history. Context Usage Calculator runs free in your browser at abovetool.com — no signup required.
