How to model EUR pricing

[lukaas33]

I want to add pricing information for a provider that invoices in EUR, but all litellm amounts are in USD.
What is the recommended way to resolve this? do a static conversion or add it in EUR?

Which version of LiteLLM are you using? There might be different support for handling currency conversions across versions. Additionally, do you need to display prices in EUR for users or for internal logging and calculations? This could influence whether you choose a static conversion rate or implement something more dynamic.

I am on v1.82.6. The displaying of prices is not really relevant for us but we are testing one provider with EUR invoicing and I was not sure how to add this to the price list file at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BerriAI/litellm/main/model_prices_and_context_window.json.

If there is a feature that converts the price from EUR to USD every request using current conversation rate that would be great for consistency. But is there anything like that?

LiteLLM doesn't have built-in functionality for dynamic currency conversion, but you can set up an external service or script to update conversion rates in your price list file regularly. Consider using a reliable API like OpenExchangeRates or Fixer.io to fetch the current rates and apply them in your application.

Use USD values in LiteLLM's pricing fields.

input_cost_per_token and output_cost_per_token are plain numeric cost fields, and the built-in model price map / dashboard treat them as dollar-denominated values. If you put raw EUR amounts there, spend tracking and display will be interpreted as USD, so the numbers will be misleading.

For a provider billed in EUR, I would add the converted USD price and document the exchange rate/date used in the PR or nearby metadata/comment. If you need exact invoice reconciliation later, keep the original EUR tariff in your own billing notes or a separate source of truth, but feed LiteLLM the USD-equivalent values.
