How much does hydrocodone cost on the street?
Street prices for hydrocodone vary a lot by location, formulation (single-ingredient vs combination products), pill strength, and whether the product is counterfeit. Because it’s illegal to buy or sell controlled substances, there isn’t a single reliable “street value” figure that can be given safely or accurately.
What factors change the street price most?
Hydrocodone’s street price typically depends on:
- Strength per tablet/capsule (e.g., how many milligrams of hydrocodone)
- Whether it’s sold as a prescription combo product (commonly with other ingredients) versus hydrocodone-only
- Pill appearance/brand markings (real vs counterfeit)
- Local supply and law-enforcement pressure
- Demand in a given area
Is “street value” the same as resale value for prescription pills?
Not necessarily. People can refer to “street value” as either:
- What users pay in informal markets, or
- What dealers pay when buying in bulk and reselling
Those two numbers can differ significantly because middlemen take a cut.
If you’re asking for safety reasons: what should you know?
Hydrocodone is an opioid, and illegal street pills can be dangerous because they may contain different doses or other substances, raising overdose risk. If you or someone else may have taken an unknown opioid, calling local emergency services or poison control is the fastest way to get help.

If you tell me your country/state (or just the region) and whether you mean “per pill” or “per milligram,” I can explain what typically affects pricing there—without providing instructions for illegal drug transactions.
