It depends on the type of monkey, as well as whether it is considered a ‘pet-quality’ animal. On average, marmosets and tamarins cost between $1,500 and $2,500; capuchins generally cost between $4,000 and $8,000; and macaques cost upwards of $10,000. Rare species and wild-caught monkeys are much more expensive, often running up to $20,000 or more.
