What is Claude API Token Counter?

The Claude API Token Counter is a tool designed to calculate the total tokens used in a conversation with the Claude AI model. Since each API call consumes a number of tokens for both your input and the AI’s output, this calculator helps users monitor token usage efficiently, understand usage levels, and avoid exceeding API limits. By entering input and output token values, you can quickly see the total token count and the estimated usage level, making API management simple and precise.
