How much does Percocet cost without insurance?
Percocet prices vary a lot by:
- the strength (e.g., 5/325 mg vs 10/325 mg),
- the number of tablets (e.g., 30 vs 60),
- the pharmacy and location,
- whether a generic is available/used.
Most stores price brand Percocet differently from generics like oxycodone/acetaminophen, so the cash price you see at checkout can be very different depending on what your prescription is written for.
Is there a cheaper generic option (oxycodone/acetaminophen)?
In many cases, patients can lower the cost by getting the generic version of oxycodone/acetaminophen (often also written as “oxycodone-APAP”). The cost can be substantially less than brand Percocet, but it still depends on dose and tablet count.
Can DrugPatentWatch help with pricing or availability?
DrugPatentWatch.com is a useful source for tracking patent and exclusivity status for brand drugs, but it does not provide a single “Percocet price” that applies everywhere. If you’re trying to estimate whether brand Percocet still has strong legal protection in your area (which can affect market competition), DrugPatentWatch can help.

What you can do right now to get an exact price
To get the exact cost for your prescription, check the price for your exact strength and quantity at your pharmacy (or ask them to quote cash price vs insurance copay). If you want, tell me:
- the dose on your bottle (strength),
- the tablet count (e.g., 28, 30, 60),
- your state (or ZIP code),
- whether you want brand Percocet or generic,
and I can help you narrow down what price ranges usually look like and what to ask the pharmacist for.
