Claude Code Cost Calculator
Monthly Claude Code cost for your team on each plan and on the API
Your team
API usage (for pay as you go and Enterprise)
Monthly cost for your team
| Option | Team / month | Per developer |
|---|---|---|
API pay as you go (Console) No plan limit. You pay for every token. 10 developers x 15 active days x $13 a day. | $1,950 | $195 |
Team: 8 Standard + 2 Premium seats Standard: more than Pro. Premium: 5x Standard. $20 per Standard seat, $100 per Premium seat. | $360 | $36 |
Team: all Standard seats More usage than Pro per seat. $20 per seat. | $200 | $20 |
Team: all Premium seats 5x the usage of a Standard seat. $100 per seat. | $1,000 | $100 |
Enterprise: seats + usage at API rates Usage billed at API rates. Admins set spend limits. $20 a seat, billed annually, 20 seat minimum, plus the API usage above. | $2,350 | $235 |
Pro, one per developer 1x Pro usage every 5 hours and every week. $200 a year each, billed up front. | $167 | $17 |
Max, one per developer 5x Pro usage. Includes $100 a month in API credits. $100 a month each. | $1,000 | $100 |
Ultra, one per developer 10x Pro usage a week, no 5-hour limit. Includes $200 a month in API credits. $200 a month each. | $2,000 | $200 |
Plans are flat prices with usage limits, so a cheaper plan can still run out. The API row has no plan limit but grows with use. Claude Code is included in all paid plans and shares the plan's usage limits with chat.
The formulas
API per month = developers x active days x API spend per active day Team (mixed) = (developers - heavy) x Standard seat + heavy x Premium seat Enterprise = max(developers, 20) x $20 + API per month Pro / Max / Ultra = developers x plan price Per developer = team cost / developers
How this works
Plan prices come from Anthropic's pricing page, read on November 11, 2026. Pro is $200 a year billed up front ($16.67 a month) or $20 monthly. Max is $100 a month and Ultra $200. A Team Standard seat is $20 a month billed annually or $25 monthly, a Premium seat $100 or $125, for 2 to 150 seats. Enterprise is $20 a seat a month, billed annually with a 20 seat minimum, plus usage at API rates.
For API usage, the calculator multiplies developers, active days and spend per active day. The default spend is the figure in Anthropic's Claude Code docs: about $13 per developer per active day across enterprise deployments, with 90% of users under $30. The docs give $150 to $250 per developer per month, so 15 active days ($195) sits inside that range. Your own spend depends on the model, codebase size and how many sessions run in parallel, so check the usage page in the Console after a pilot.
Worked example with the defaults (10 developers, 2 heavy, annual billing, 15 active days at $13): API is 10 x 15 x $13 = $1,950 a month. Team mixed is 8 x $20 + 2 x $100 = $360. Enterprise is 20 x $20 + $1,950 = $2,350.
