The US spent 2 billion dollars on the Manhattan Project during WW2, almost all of this was on infrastructure not bombs themselves. Each of the bombs themselves probably cost on the order of a million dollars, although no exact costs have been declassified.

The United States. The US not only funded their own part in the war but they lent money to Britain to fight the war. They also provided aid to displaced persons and liberated Jews during and after the war. The atomic bombs were the most expensive bombs to build, transport and fly to their destinations. They cost over 2 billion dollars, closer to 3 when add in peripheral costs. The US also had to pay interest on the billions of dollars of war bonds too.

How much did using the atomic bomb on japan cost for the US in World War 2?

It has been argued that the atomic bomb cost aound 2 billion dollars for the 3 bombs: 1 test bomb and the 2 actaully dropped Almost every penny of that was spent on the industrial infrastructure needed to make the bombs. The cost of the bombs themselves was virtually negligible compared to that. 24 bombs were scheduled for production in 1945: 1 test bomb and 23 to be dropped on Japan. It is unlikely these extra bombs had they been produced would have raised the cost much at all. The actual cost of a nuclear weapon's physics package is still classified.

What did Hideki Tojo think of Harry Truman dropping the atomic bomb on Japan in World War 2?

Nothing has been said about his feelings towardPresident Truman. Tojo had attempted suicide, shortly after the bombs had fallen and was executed a few years later. It is said that he spent most of his time trying to exhonerate the emperor of any wrong doings Japan had committed. As Japan was developing its own atomic program, it seems unlikely that Tojo gave much specific consideration to Truman.
