Cost of Heroin

The cost of buying heroin on the street depends upon a number of different factors – including the type of heroin in question, how it was “cut” and processed, as well as the availability in public at that given time.

Generally, the following holds true about the cost of street heroin:

• The average cost of a single dose of heroin (purchased on the street) is approximately $10 – $20.
• The approximate average cost for a half gram is generally about $40 - $60.
• The approximate average cost for one gram is generally about $60 - $100.

A heroin dependant individual who uses regularly and continually may pay $150 – $200 per day in order to support his or her habit.

Nationwide, in 2000, South American heroin ranged from $50,000 to $200,000 per kilogram. Southeast and Southwest Asian heroin ranged in price from $40,000 to $190,000 per kilogram. Wholesale-level prices for Mexican heroin were the lowest of any type, ranging from $13,200 to $175,000 per kilogram. The wide range in kilogram prices reflects variables such as buyer/seller relationships, quantities purchased, purchase frequencies, purity, and transportation costs.
