Workload cost calculator
Share of input tokens served from cache. Applied only to models with a cache meter.
Rows with a rate that changes by time of day, promo window or service tier are priced for this scenario instead of their flat listed rate; a brand-colored label under the model name names which one applies. Context size for band-priced rows uses the input-token count below.
Picking a specific hour also previews time-of-day rates that are scheduled but have not started billing yet; those rows are labelled · preview with their start instant. Now only ever shows rates that are billable at this moment.

How much to trust these numbers
Azure-hosted US Data Zone Standard. The Foundry launch table lists Global and US Data Zone together without a separate zone price; Anthropic explicitly documents the 1.1x US multiplier used here. The deployment has no per-model Retail Prices token meter because it bills through CCUs.
Microsoft Learn lists Azure-hosted Claude Opus 5.5 as GA in US Data Zone Standard; the Foundry launch table combines Global and US Data Zone offers without separate figures. Anthropic's pricing page, captured 2026-09-23, explicitly says Foundry US Data Zone Standard uses the same 1.1x multiplier as `inference_geo: us`; applying that published multiplier to the $4/$0.20/$20 Global rates gives the explicit $4.40/$0.22/$22 per M rates stored here. CCU billing converts token usage at Anthropic's published rates before marketplace discounts.
