How old must one be to get a vasectomy? and how expensive and risky is it?

No set age: Unusual question for a 16 year old. Asking for yourself or a friend or relative? This is not a light decision and would talk with your family, doctor, and partner. There are other forms of reliable birth control available that are cheap. Vasectomy is very safe and the most concerning complication is that it does not work and you are still have sperm released. Most insurance will pay for it.
