It may be much less than you’ve heard.

Given the vagaries of the federal contracting system, this is not an easy question to answer. But that has not stopped some people from speculating that the total is $500 million or more.

That may be a reasonable figure, but the more we looked into this, the more it seemed a bit high.
...
The GAO report also lists a number of other contracts related to supporting the federal exchanges, totally $394 million, but the figure includes projects unrelated to the Web site, such as call centers. The long list of contracts in the appendix of the GAO report does not give enough detail to fully determine which contracts are directly related to the Web site, though at a glance you could reduce the total to at least $350 million.
...
one could embrace the entire project, as outlined by GAO, and declare that it is at least $350 million.
...
CGI Federal has been paid $112 million for its work on the Web site so far
...
To sum up: The floor for spending on the Web site to date appears to be at least $170 million, with an upward potential of nearly $300 million.
