356356Computer use follows the standard [tool use pricing](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/overview#pricing). When using the computer use tool:
357357
358**System prompt overhead:** The computer use beta adds 466–499 tokens to the system prompt
358**Toolset definition overhead:** Declaring `computer_toolset_20260801` with its default members adds about 4,500 input tokens to a request (about 4,520 on Claude Fable 5, Claude Mythos 5, Claude Opus 5, and Claude Opus 4.8, and about 4,590 on Claude Sonnet 5), which covers the member tool definitions and the tool use system prompt. Disabling `zoom` with `configs` removes about 410 of those tokens. The exact count for a request is reported in the response `usage`, and you can estimate it in advance with the [token counting endpoint](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/token-counting).

362* System prompt overhead: 466–499 tokens added to the system prompt
363* Tool definition: about 735 input tokens per tool definition (measured with `computer_20250124`)

366365**Additional token consumption:**
367366
368* Screenshot images (see [Vision pricing](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/vision))
367* Screenshot and zoom images returned in tool results, billed as image input (see [Vision pricing](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/vision#evaluate-image-size))
369368* Tool execution results returned to Claude

376Browser use follows the standard [tool use pricing](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/overview#pricing). When using the browser use tool:
377
378**Toolset definition overhead:** Declaring `browser_toolset_20260801` with its default members adds about 6,600 input tokens to a request (about 6,610 on Claude Fable 5, Claude Mythos 5, Claude Opus 5, and Claude Opus 4.8, and about 6,670 on Claude Sonnet 5), which covers the member tool definitions and the tool use system prompt. Enabling all four optional members adds about 880 tokens, and disabling members with `configs` reduces the count. The exact count for a request is reported in the response `usage`, and you can estimate it in advance with the [token counting endpoint](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/token-counting).

382* Screenshot and zoom images returned in tool results, billed as image input (see [Vision pricing](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/vision#evaluate-image-size))
383* Text tool results returned to Claude, such as accessibility trees, page text, and console or network entries
