How much does the iPhone 5 cost not per month but all together?

I wanted to know how much the iPhone 5 actually cost not just per month b/c i looked on the apple site it said $199 but do you pay that per month or is it you pay 199 for the phone once

$199.00 is what you pay for the phone with a 2 year contract. Contract costs vary. Contact your service provider for specifics.

Clarifications:
-The normal cost of an iPhone 5 is $199 + (2 year contract costs)
-The total cost of an iPhone 5 with phone contract costs: Average $1200 after a 2 Year service.
-The total cost of an iPhone 5 without phone service costs: $600.

Of course.
You are looking for an iPhone called: Unlocked iPhone 5.
Unlocked iPhones are an all monthly cost exempted costs into one complete package.
They are essentially the cost of the iPhone + Termination Fee.
You do not get phone service if you choose this method.

Total: $600 for 32GB
Total: $650 for 64GB

Background:

The cost of actually producing an iPhone 5 is $188. However, say iPhone 5 was not developed on the basis of celluar connections, Apple would probably sell the 32GB for $300 and the 64GB for $350 or $400.

If you are looking for a mobile device that is awesome like the iPhone except without the phone service, then I would recommend you the new iPod Touch 5th Generation ($290). Essentially it is like the iPhone 5 except without cellular connections and a weaker processor.

If you are within a $200 budget, then I would recommend you the following:
-iPhone 4: $200-eBay
-Nexus 7 Tablet: $200-Google Play Store
-iPod Touch 4th Generation: $150-Apple Store

Hope this help. Best Answers.
