How much does Percocet cost without insurance?
Percocet (oxycodone/acetaminophen) pricing varies a lot based on the dose strength, tablet count, pharmacy location, and whether you use insurance. To answer with a real number, I’d need at least:
- the strength (for example, 5/325 mg, 7.5/325 mg, 10/325 mg)
- the quantity (for example, 28 tablets, 60 tablets, etc.)
- your ZIP code (or city/state)
- whether you want the cash price or an insured copay estimate
If you share those details, I can narrow it down to what people typically pay at pharmacies near you.
What affects Percocet prices the most?
Percocet costs commonly change based on:
- Dose strength and tablet count (higher strength and larger quantities cost more)
- Brand vs generic (generic oxycodone/acetaminophen is usually cheaper)
- Pharmacy pricing and local competition
- Insurance formulary status and prior authorization rules (copays can differ by plan)
- Whether you’re buying it as an initial fill or a refill around the time of deductible resets
Is generic oxycodone/acetaminophen cheaper than Percocet?
Usually, yes. When a drug has generic versions, the cash price is often far lower than the brand-name Percocet—especially for common strengths. If you tell me the exact Percocet strength you’re asking about, I can compare what to look for in generic pricing.
Does the patent situation affect Percocet pricing?
Brand-name pricing can be influenced by exclusivity and patent/market exclusivity history, while generics tend to lower overall costs once available.

What’s the fastest way to get a low price?
- Ask the pharmacist whether a generic oxycodone/acetaminophen version is available for the same strength and instructions.
- Compare cash prices across 2–3 pharmacies in your area (prices can differ significantly).
- Check whether your plan has a preferred pharmacy for opioids (copays can change).
- If you have a high deductible, ask for the cash price even if you have insurance, then compare to your estimated copay.
