The timing belt itself is under $50 on the Web. It can take a couple of hours to get the job done, as a lot of things need to be moved out of the way in the the tight engine compartment (even worse for turbocharged models). An independent shop might charge as little as $250, all in. DOuble that for the dealership.
If this is your second timing belt change, get the belt tensioner and idler changed, too! Total parts are $250, installing them adds about 30 minutes. I would strongly recommend replacing the water pump as well - this is under the timing belt (that belt drives the water pump). If the water pump seizes, the belt will fail, the cams will unsync from the pistons, and the pistons will hit the valves, bending them... $4000 to fix. (Been there, done that - we junked the car, and 850). The $100 extra for a water pump changed maybe a little early is fabulous insurance.
