What is the typical oxycodone “street” price per pill or per mg?
Street prices for oxycodone vary widely by location, potency (mg per tablet), formulation (immediate-release vs. extended-release), and supply. Without knowing your city/region and the specific strength you’re asking about (for example, 5 mg vs. 30 mg), there isn’t one reliable “standard” cost.
How do pill strength and formulation change the price?
In general, higher-dose oxycodone tablets (and extended-release formulations) tend to cost more per pill because they contain more drug and are often harder to obtain. Prices also rise when a particular strength is scarce or when higher-demand formulations are involved.
Why street prices are hard to pin down
Street markets are informal and change fast. The same oxycodone tablet strength can sell for very different prices depending on:
- local law enforcement pressure and availability
- whether it’s sold in small quantities vs. bulk
- whether pills look “legit” vs. counterfeit or mixed with other drugs
- user risk tolerance (some buyers pay more for pills that appear safer or more consistent)
Are there safer ways to compare “cost” than street buying?
If your goal is budgeting for treatment or reducing costs, the more reliable comparisons are prescription pricing and patient-assistance options. If you tell me your dosage (strength), whether you mean immediate-release or extended-release, and your country/state, I can help compare legal options such as pharmacy cash prices and programs (where applicable).
If you’re asking because you suspect fentanyl contamination
Because fentanyl is often present in illicit opioid supplies, street oxycodone carries serious overdose risk. If you or someone else has taken pills and there are signs of overdose (slow or stopped breathing, severe sleepiness, or unresponsiveness), seek emergency help immediately and use naloxone if available.
Tell me one detail so I can be specific
What’s your location (country and state/province or city) and what strength are you referring to (for example, 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, or “OxyContin 80 mg”)?
