145145Prompt caching uses the following pricing multipliers relative to base input token rates:
146146
147| Cache operation | Multiplier | Duration |
148| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
149| 5-minute cache write | 1.25x base input price | Cache valid for 5 minutes |
150| 1-hour cache write | 2x base input price | Cache valid for 1 hour |
151| Cache read (hit) | 0.1x base input price (0.025x on Claude Fable 5.2, Claude Mythos 5.2, Claude Fable 5.1, and Claude Mythos 5.1; 0.05x on Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Sonnet 5.5) | Same duration as the preceding write |
147| Cache operation | Multiplier | Duration |
148| -------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------ |
149| 5-minute cache write | 1.25x base input price | Cache valid for 5 minutes |
150| 1-hour cache write | 2x base input price | Cache valid for 1 hour |
151| Cache read (hit) | 0.1x base input price on most models | Same duration as the preceding write |
152152
153Cache write tokens are charged when content is first stored. Cache read tokens are charged when a subsequent request retrieves the cached content. A cache hit costs 10 percent of the standard input price, which means caching pays off after one cache read for the 5-minute duration (1.25x write), or after two cache reads for the 1-hour duration (2x write). On Claude Fable 5.2, Claude Mythos 5.2, Claude Fable 5.1, and Claude Mythos 5.1, a cache hit costs 2.5 percent of the standard input price ($0.20 USD per million tokens on Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2, $0.25 USD on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1). On Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Sonnet 5.5, a cache hit costs 5 percent of the standard input price ($0.20 USD per million tokens on Claude Opus 5.5, $0.10 USD on Claude Sonnet 5.5).
153Cache write tokens are charged when content is first stored. Cache read tokens are charged when a subsequent request retrieves the cached content.
154154
155Caching saves money after a small number of cache reads:
156
157* **5-minute duration (1.25x write):** after one cache read
158* **1-hour duration (2x write):** after two cache reads
159
160What a cache hit costs depends on the model:
161
162| Model | Cache hit multiplier | Cache hit price per million tokens |
163| -------------------------------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
164| Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2 | 0.025x | $0.20 USD |
165| Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1 | 0.025x | $0.25 USD |
166| Claude Opus 5.5 | 0.05x | $0.20 USD |
167| Claude Sonnet 5.5 | 0.05x | $0.10 USD |
168| All other models | 0.1x | See [Model pricing](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing#model-pricing) |
169
155170These multipliers stack with other pricing modifiers, including the Batch API discount and data residency.

160175
161176For Claude 4.6 and later models, specifying US-only inference through the `inference_geo` parameter incurs a 1.1x multiplier on all token pricing categories, including input tokens, output tokens, cache writes, and cache reads. On Claude Haiku 5.5, the multiplier also applies to the higher prices for prompts over 100,000 tokens (see [Long context pricing](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing#long-context-pricing)). Global routing (the default) uses standard pricing.
162177
163This applies to the Claude API (first-party), Claude Platform on AWS, and Claude Models on Google Cloud (Anthropic managed). On Claude in Microsoft Foundry, the same 1.1x multiplier applies to deployments that use the US Data Zone Standard deployment type (see [Inference geography](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing#foundry-inference-geography)). Partner-operated platforms, Claude Models on Google Cloud (Google managed) and Bedrock, have independent regional pricing. See [Bedrock pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/pricing/) and [Google Cloud pricing](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/pricing#claude-models) for details. Earlier models do not support the `inference_geo` parameter and always use standard pricing; requests that include the parameter on these models return a 400 error.
