What drives pdf summarization cost
PDFs are the worst case for input cost: extracted text carries page furniture, headers, and footnotes that inflate token counts well past what the content warrants. Cleaning the extraction before sending it often cuts more cost than changing models. Long PDFs also routinely cross long-context pricing thresholds, so chunking is both a quality and a cost decision.
For Claude Haiku 5.5 specifically, that means output tokens cost 5.0x more than input, at $0.50 vs $0.10 per MTok. At this use case’s 15,000/1,500 token split, output accounts for 33% of the $0.002250 per-call cost.
