A retained price row does not establish current API availability. Older, deprecated and retired models are labelled separately. Units, prompt tiers and access conditions are part of each price; consult the linked source before budgeting.

Calculator preset billing notes

The calculator uses the four selected text-model presets shown in its menu. The full reference above also includes models with other units, access conditions or retired status.

Claude API pricing versus Pro and Max

This page estimates direct Claude API token usage. Claude Pro and Max subscription prices are not interchangeable with API rates and are not used in these calculations.

Cache reads are different from cache writes

A cached-input discount applies when a request reads an eligible existing cache. Creating a cache can have a separate write price and lifetime. Set a read share only when your workload can actually reuse cached input; account for the write premium above the input price already counted, plus storage charges.

Haiku's prompt tier

The selected Haiku record switches to a higher whole-request rate above 100,000 input tokens, including cached input. The other selected Claude records have no long-context premium in this snapshot. Combined batch/cache rates are not inferred when verification is missing.

Cache-write reference: base prompt tier

  • Claude Sonnet 5.5: 5-minute cache write $2.5 / 1M tokens; 60-minute cache write $4 / 1M tokens
  • Claude Opus 5.5: 5-minute cache write $5 / 1M tokens; 60-minute cache write $8 / 1M tokens
  • Claude Haiku 5.5: 5-minute cache write $0.125 / 1M tokens; 60-minute cache write $0.2 / 1M tokens
  • Claude Fable 5.1: 5-minute cache write $12.5 / 1M tokens; 60-minute cache write $20 / 1M tokens

The cached-input share models reads. Newly written tokens remain in ordinary input usage. To avoid counting their input charge twice, add only the write premium above that already-counted input charge, plus full storage costs, under other monthly costs. For example, 1M Sonnet input tokens at $2 with a $2.50 write rate need a $0.50 adjustment, not another $2.50. These reference rates use the base prompt tier; check the source for long-context write rates.
