A rate per million tokens is not a budget. The calculator takes your request volume, prompt size and cache hit rate and gives you a monthly figure.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Claude Haiku 4.5 cost per 1M tokens?
Claude Haiku 4.5 costs $1.00 per million input tokens and $5.00 per million output tokens at Anthropic Claude list prices. Output is 5.0x the input rate, so the input:output ratio of a workload drives the real cost more than the headline price.
Does Claude Haiku 4.5 support prompt caching?
Yes. Cached input is billed at $0.100 per million tokens, 10x cheaper than uncached input. Cache writes carry a premium, so caching that writes every turn (chat history, agent steps) only pays above roughly a 22% hit rate. A shared prompt reused within a few minutes pays at almost any hit rate.
What is the batch discount for Claude Haiku 4.5?
Requests submitted through the asynchronous batch endpoint are billed at 50% off both input and output rates, bringing input to $0.500 and output to $2.50 per million tokens.
What is Claude Haiku 4.5's context window?
200K tokens of context with up to 64K output tokens per request. A larger context window raises the ceiling on what you can send, not the price per token, but filling it on every request is one of the most common causes of an unexpected bill.
