# Split cost of bringing 1 kg to LEO

Historically seen, space logistics prices decrease, as shown here, from $20K/kg to expected 1.7K/kg thanks to reusable rockets. But, how does the cost split look like and vary in detail? i.e. "fuel - 40%, shipment fee - 25%, ..." If possible, let's compare SpaceX with BlueOrigin. I try to get a rough idea however. • Nice question ! Aug 7 '18 at 11:09 • I feel this will vary a lot between different launch providers. Could you ask about one provider in particular to make the question easier to answer rigorously? – Jack Aug 7 '18 at 13:34 • if data is available @Jack it'd surely nice to compare two of them; added to example Aug 7 '18 at 14:17 • Remember that cost is not price.

In other words, the cost of fuel is not a significant contributer to the total.
