That's a great question! There are many people trying very hard to come up with a precise answer to it right now. Currently, it looks like a small spaceship that can take about five or six people to the International Space Station (ISS) and bring them back in a week or so will take somewhere between $100 million and $400 million to develop and approximately $25 to $50 million to fly each time.
