$1250 initial and $100/year thereafter. If you have any other end-user
resources, it's part of the same $100/year you're already paying, so,
it might be effectively free after the initial payment.
Assuming you use it for 10 years, that amortizes out to $125/year.
I don't know if there are still discounts on end-user assignments or
not. I know that when I got mine, there was a partial fee waiver
program in effect and I paid quite a bit less than $1250.

The RIRs don't charge for integers. The RIRs charge for making
globally guaranteed unique registrations of integers and
maintaining the associated records in several databases.

There are places to get legitimate GUA space other than RIRs.
Some of them are free.
