About Claude Sonnet 5 pricing
Claude Sonnet 5 is Anthropic’s mid-tier model that balances capability and price for everyday production workloads. It is billed per token: $2.00 for every million tokens you send and $10.00 for every million tokens it generates, so output costs 5× as much as input.
For a typical request of 1,000 input and 500 output tokens, Claude Sonnet 5 costs about $0.007 — the 7th-cheapest of the 14 models we track. One million input tokens is roughly 2,000 pages of English prose.
