The cost of a single mission is hard to calculate since so much had to occur before that mission could be performed. You could figure the cost of the fuel, the building of the actual flight equipment, and the salaries of everybody involved, but that won't figure in the cost needed for all the steps that had to occur before that final mission.

The final cost of the entire program, as reported by NASA in 1973, was US$20.4 billion. If you divide that by the total number of successful moon landings (6), you get an average cost of US$3.4 billion per mission, or US$14.8 billion adjusted for inflation. That's not a very accurate number, but it gives some estimate of the cost.
