What does Percocet cost per pill (typical U.S. cash price)?
Percocet prices vary a lot by dose (strength), pill size/count, and whether you pay cash or use insurance. Without knowing the exact strength, any “price per pill” number would be unreliable.
If you share the dose on the bottle (for example 5/325, 7.5/325, 10/325) and your ZIP code, you can usually get an accurate per-pill estimate from local pharmacy pricing tools or your insurer’s formulary.
How to calculate “price per pill” from a pharmacy quote
Most pharmacy quotes are for a bottle count (commonly 20, 28, or 30 tablets). To convert to price-per-pill, divide the total bottle price by the tablet count.
Example method:
Price per pill = (cash price for the bottle) ÷ (number of tablets in the bottle)
Why Percocet price can differ even when the dose is the same
Common drivers include:
- Whether you’re buying the brand name (Percocet) versus an authorized generic
- The exact strength (oxycodone mg + acetaminophen mg)
- Bottle size (different counts change the effective “per-pill” price)
- Your pharmacy (independent vs chain) and location
- Insurance copay vs cash pay
Is there a cheaper alternative that’s still oxycodone/acetaminophen?
Many patients compare Percocet with generic oxycodone/acetaminophen tablets (same active ingredients, lower cost in many cases). If you want, tell me your Percocet strength and I can help you identify what to ask your pharmacist for (including how to compare the same tablet count and strength).

Quick question so I can give a real number
What Percocet strength is it (5/325, 7.5/325, or 10/325) and what pharmacy/ZIP code are you using (or is it cash price)?
