token-tracker

token-tracker — Claude Code Plugin

Displays a running count of input and output tokens after every Claude response, with an estimated session cost.

What you see

After each response, this appears in your Claude Code terminal:

┌─ Token Usage ────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  Model  : Opus 4.6                                   │
│  Input  :        4,821   Output :        1,203  │
│  Cache↑ :            0   Cache↓ :            0  │
│  Total  :        6,024 tokens       ~  $0.0326  │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

At session end, it shows the same box labelled Session Final.

Pricing

The plugin automatically detects which Claude model is being used and applies the correct pricing. Prices are per 1M tokens (source: Anthropic pricing):

Model	Input	Output	Cache Write	Cache Read
Opus 4.6	$5	$25	$6.25	$0.50
Opus 4.5	$5	$25	$6.25	$0.50
Opus 4.1	$15	$75	$18.75	$1.50
Sonnet 4.6	$3	$15	$3.75	$0.30
Sonnet 4.5	$3	$15	$3.75	$0.30
Haiku 4.5	$1	$5	$1.25	$0.10

If the model can't be detected, Sonnet pricing is used as a fallback.
