It varies, and sometimes is a government secret. It depends on the aircraft. Some airplanes can fly faster than the speed of sound and fly for thousand of miles. Others can carry thousands of pounds of equipment. Planes that have to take off and land from carriers need special equipment for the mission. There are planes that only carry a pilot and there are others that carry hundreds of passengers. Stealth aircraft that are designed to avoid radar are very expensive. If a lot of planes are ordered and the order is spread out over several years, the cost might be less that a few planes that have to be delivered right away. The government does not always say how much a 'secret' aircraft costs, because they don't want to tell hostile nations everything.
There is no direct answer to the question, and inflation can make modern aircraft more expensive than aircraft that were built years ago. Generally speaking if you go to a place like Wikipedia and look up individual aircraft, you will find out how much it cost to build a specific aircraft. The minimum cost for a military plane is usually a few million dollars to hundreds of millions of dollars for the B-2 Spirit Stealth bomber, the most expensive aircraft that we have been told about.

What is the difference between military aircraft and civil aircraft?
Military aircraft are designed to destroy the enemy's military aircraft and (sometimes) their civil aircraft. They also preform bombing tasks as well as a few non-combat tasks. Civil aircraft are mainly transports and crop sprayers that don't do much fighting. Military aircraft are designed to fulfill a multitude of roles that are specified by the Armed forces that will be using these aircraft. These roles include Air attack as well as air support and defence of other military assets. Transport and surveillence are also key roles that military aircraft fulfill. Civil aircraft are designed to perform commercial transport as well as personal use and sports roles. Civil aircraft have no need for stealth or combat survivability the way military Military aircraft do.
How much does it cost to produce a Stealth fighter plane?
To produce a stealth fighter plane it would cost around $1,500,000. The cost of a military aircraft is difficult to judge. The military orders aircraft in production batches. So they sign a contract for a fixed production run and all the supporting spare parts, and training needed to operate this aircraft. They also order the manuals and drawings that they feel they need to support this aircraft for the next 20-30 years. No one goes out and buys just 1 military aircraft. A B-2 Stealth Bomber crashed during the last week of Feb 2008. The news media reported its price as $1.5 Billion or $1,500,000,000.
