Code generation workflow
You send 5,000 input tokens for a code prompt and receive 2,000 output tokens. Cost = (5,000 / 1,000,000 × $0.15) + (2,000 / 1,000,000 × $0.50) = $0.00075 + $0.001 = $0.00175.
https://api.claudeapiprice.com/v1You pay for raw token usage at $0.15 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens, with prepaid credit that never expires.

You send 5,000 input tokens for a code prompt and receive 2,000 output tokens. Cost = (5,000 / 1,000,000 × $0.15) + (2,000 / 1,000,000 × $0.50) = $0.00075 + $0.001 = $0.00175.
You process a 50,000 token context window and generate 8,000 tokens. Cost = (50,000 / 1,000,000 × $0.15) + (8,000 / 1,000,000 × $0.50) = $0.0075 + $0.004 = $0.0115.
You stream 10,000 input tokens and 16,000 output tokens (max output). Cost = (10,000 / 1,000,000 × $0.15) + (16,000 / 1,000,000 × $0.50) = $0.0015 + $0.008 = $0.0095.
The claude API price structure is strictly based on raw token consumption. You are charged $0.15 for every million input tokens and $0.50 for every million output tokens. This model eliminates hidden fees for streaming, function calling, or JSON mode. Errors and refusals do not consume your balance. Prepaid credit is deducted only for successful token generation. This approach ensures that your costs scale linearly with your actual usage. You do not pay for idle time or reserved capacity. The prepaid balance keeps your spending predictable and allows you to top up exactly when needed.
