That's strictly between you & the shop you take it to. Some have a minimum charge; some have a flat fee for evac. & recharge; some charge book time; some charge clock time; some will tell you a low price & then jack it up after they're working on it.

But the fact that you're low tells you there's a leak, so simply putting refrigerant in won't fix anything for long. That means you should expect to pay for some diagnosis & a few new parts (possibly just O-rings). I'd say reasonable cost would be between $150-250 if it's nothing major; maybe double that if you need 1 major component. Rip-off could head for a grand.
