Variable cost: There is a big difference removing a wisdom tooth as a simple extraction as compared to severely impacted wisdom tooth. The same goes for having it removed under local anesthesia as compared to IV sedation, and finally it varies from general dentist to oral surgeon including geographic location and type of practice. A simple consultation will give you the exact amount.

Differs: Depends on complexity of the procedure, time to do the rx, type of anesthesia, etc. It's not like buying a can of soup, where every can is exactly like every other can. It's not a product, it's a service. So find the best oral surgeon you can (ask your dentist for referral) and go for it.
