What drives data extraction cost
Extraction is input-heavy and output-light (the raw document goes in, structured fields come out), which makes it one of the cheapest tasks per unit of value on this list. Output is small enough that output pricing is nearly irrelevant. Cost tracks document size, so the lever is sending only the pages that contain the fields you want.
For Claude Opus 4.8 specifically, that means output tokens cost 5.0x more than input, at $25.00 vs $5.00 per MTok. At this use case’s 4,000/1,000 token split, output accounts for 56% of the $0.0450 per-call cost.

Standard token rates
| Direction | $/MTok | Tokens per call |
|---|---|---|
| Input | $5.00 | 4,000 |
| Output | $25.00 | 1,000 |
Prompt caching: 90% off input tokens
Caching drops input cost from $5.00 to $0.50/MTok. For repeated system prompts, that saves $0.0180 per call.
Batch API: 50% off all tokens
Submit requests asynchronously and receive 50% off all token costs. This works best for offline pipelines where latency requirements are flexible.
