That cannot be said as it has not yet been declassified. However a reasonable estimate is somewhere between $250,000 and $1,000,000 for each custom hand assembled bomb.
Total cost of the entire Manhattan Project has been declassified. It was about $2,000,000,000 however the vast majority of this was spent on building the industrial infrastructure needed to prepare materials and make bomb components.

Is the nuclear bomb bigger than the atomic bomb?
The terms atomic bomb and nuclear bomb are interchangeable as both obtain their energy from the atomic nucleus. So neither is bigger.There are two processes to get the energy for a bomb out of the atomic nucleus:fission, the breaking up of large nuclei into smaller onesfusion, the joining of small nuclei together into larger ones.Pure fission bombs have a practical yield limit between 500 KTons and 1 MTon because of criticality limits: too much fuel in the bomb will cause it to "predetonate" and melt before it can be delivered to a target. Fusion bombs do not have this limit: you can put as much fuel as you want to get as high a yield as you might like.However no modern nuclear weapon is pure fission or pure fusion, the processes are mixed in a variety of ways to get the exact effects desired, in the package size desired, at the production cost desired. Therefore some fission bombs are higher yield than some fusion bombs and vice versa.
How much did the plutonium device cost for the nuclear bomb?
The cost of the plutonium used in a nuclear bomb can vary greatly, depending on factors such as purity, quantity, and production method. However, estimates suggest that the plutonium used in a typical nuclear bomb could cost millions of dollars.
When was the first nuclear bomb made?
There are records of the Mongols using bombs against the Japanese as early as 1281 AD. The Chinese are commonly credited with the invention of the first form of gunpowder, Black Powder, but there is no definitive date or creditation for that.
How much does one nuclear bomb cost taxpayer?
40 bucks
What is the cost of a nuclear bomb?
The cost of a nuclear bomb can vary greatly depending on factors such as the country producing it, the complexity of the design, and the quantity being produced. However, estimates suggest that it can range from several hundred million to billions of dollars.
How much do nukes cost?
The cost of a nuclear weapon can vary significantly depending on factors such as the design, complexity, and delivery system. It is estimated that the cost of building and maintaining nuclear weapons programs can range from hundreds of millions to billions of dollars. This includes costs associated with research, development, testing, production, and maintenance of the weapons.
How much would it cost today to build an atomic bomb today like the one US dropped on Japan?
The first atomic bombs cost billions because they had to learn how to gather uranium and plutonium into a form that was good enough for a bomb and they had to design the bomb. Now a nuclear missile cost would be probably about a million or more. The cost of the newer missile is in the housing and maintenance of the missile.
How much does it cost to launch a nuclear bomb or missile?
up to 10mill and even up to 1billion
How much is the cost of Nuclear Bomb which is used on Second World War?
Construction of the infrastructure to build them cost $2,000,000,000 but the incremental cost per bomb was much less, I doubt they cost a million a piece and the cost would have dropped with increased production.
How much did a V-1 bomb cost?
$600 or RM 1500 The development cost $200 million or RM 500 million in 1945
Why did Eisenhower favor the development of nuclear weapons such as the hydrogen bomb?
He believed that developing nuclear weapons instead of preparing for conventional war was more cost-efficient.
How much was the first nuclear bomb that costed the US?
It is not possible to say exactly how much the first nuclear bombs cost. The Manhattan Project cost $2,000,000,000; but most of that was to build the industrial infrastructure needed to enrich uranium, produce plutonium, fabricate bomb parts, and deliver the bomb to the target. Once setup the incremental cost per bomb produced is relatively small.I estimate that the Trinity Gadget MK-III, Hiroshima Little Boy MK-I, and Nagasaki Fat Man MK-III bombs cost well under$1,000,000 each.We had in production or scheduled for production a total of 23 nuclear bombs to be dropped on Japan in 1945 should she fail to surrender, only the first two of these were used.August three bombs, 1 MK-I & 2 MK-IIISeptember three bombs, 3 MK-IIIOctober three bombs, 3 MK-IIINovember seven bombs, 7 modified MK-III using new composite plutonium/uranium coreDecember seven bombs, 7 modified MK-III using new composite plutonium/uranium core
When did Truman agree with the atomic bomb?
The first atomic bomb, produced by the ultrasecret Manhattan Project at a cost of $2 billion, exploded in the desert near Alamogordo, New Mexico, on July 16, 1945. The results were recorded and Truman was sure that such force will end Japan's capacity to make war.
