The cost of an abortion in 2025 varies based on the type (medication or surgical), location, and how far along the pregnancy is. In the U.S.:

  • Medication abortion (abortion pills) typically costs between $0 to $950 depending on provider type and location, with common ranges around $150-$800. Some nonprofits offer lower-cost or free options. Insurance coverage varies by provider and state.
  • Surgical abortion prices range widely from around $650 for early procedures (6-10 weeks) up to $3,000 or more for later stages (second trimester). For example, Denver clinics list surgical abortions from $650 to $1,000 up to about 16 weeks, and costs rise significantly for later terms.

Additional costs might include ultrasound, consultation, sedation, blood tests, and follow-up care. Public hospitals or clinics in some states may offer abortions at no cost or reduced cost through Medicaid or other insurance coverage. Overall:

  • Early medication abortion: $150 to $800+
  • Early surgical abortion: $650 to $1,000+
  • Later surgical abortion: can range from $2,000 to over $3,000

Financial assistance may be available through abortion funds and nonprofit organizations depending on the location and circumstances.
