Tokens used each month, in millions Uncached input Cache reads Cache writes Output, including any billed reasoning

Start with estimates, or replace them with a provider usage report. Count each token once: cache writes are not also uncached input, and reasoning is counted inside output. Enter 0 for an unused category; a cleared field stays unknown.

Usage level100%

Plan prices and API rates are dated vendor list prices from our reference data. Allowances are not token quotas, so this page never infers how many tokens a plan includes.

API models to compare

Three dated Anthropic rate cards in this calculator; this is not the full Vaze tool catalogue.

How this is calculated

Count each token once. Cache writes replace uncached input; billed reasoning belongs inside output. Plan limits are not token quotas. API cards use standard global pricing and 5-minute cache writes, excluding tools, fast mode, batch, residency modifiers and tax. Matching costs do not establish equivalent access, features or quality.

Cleared fields stay unknown; zero means no use in that category. Enter a company total or annual amount, not a per-seat amount, in Company cost. Only a blank company cost may use a verified USD per-seat list price.

Worked example and formula

Illustrative assumptions: 3 seats, $60.00 company budget per month, 2 million uncached input tokens, 0.5 million output tokens, zero cache reads/writes. These are not measured typical usage or a vendor quota.

Plan cost per million = monthly company cost ÷ total millions of tokens used. Here: $60 ÷ 2.5 = $24.00 per million. API monthly cost = input millions × input rate + cache-read millions × cache-read rate + cache-write millions × cache-write rate + output millions × output rate.

anthropic/claude-sonnet-5: $9.00 a month for this example workload.
anthropic/claude-opus-5.5: $18.00 a month for this example workload.
anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6: $13.50 a month for this example workload.

This compares cash arithmetic, not equivalent product capabilities or quality. Subscription access, features and limits differ from API access.
