There are up front costs, and then per run, per wafer and per chip costs. The fabs are rarely totally transparent with them, preferring instead to give quotes like "X for the first 1000 chips, Y for each subsequent thousand", or whatever.
Assuming that there are no errata, Y should be much lower than X. If there are errata, and they can't be fixed with blue wire, you might be back to step 1.
