About Claude Opus 5.5
Opus 5.5 is priced at $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output, below the $5 and $25 charged for Opus 5 and the 4.x Opus line. Cache reads are 5% of the base input price ($0.20 per million), and Anthropic lists a separate fast mode for Opus models at premium prices ($8 input, $40 output for Opus 5.5) that this calculator does not model. It uses the newer Claude tokenizer, which Anthropic says yields about 30% more tokens than earlier Claude models.
What Claude Opus 5.5 costs in practice
A call with 1,000 input tokens and 500 output tokens costs $0.014 on Claude Opus 5.5, so a thousand such calls cost $14.00. With prompt caching, a cache read is priced at $0.20 per million tokens, 95% below the standard input rate. Its 1M-token context window holds roughly 750,000 English words, or about 1,500 pages at 500 words a page; filling all of it once costs $4.00 in input tokens.
How this Claude Opus 5.5 token counter counts tokens
Claude Opus 5.5’s own tokenizer cannot be run in a browser, so this page counts with OpenAI’s o200k_base encoding and marks the result ≈. Use it to size a prompt and compare costs, then confirm against the usage figures the API returns.
How to use it
- Paste your prompt into the box, or drop a .txt or .md file on it.
- Set the expected output length and how many calls you make per day.
- Compare the cost per call and per month across models; the cheapest is highlighted.
- Tick the cache option if your prompt prefix is reused, then copy the table if you need it elsewhere.
