G:Spaceships 2 gives some estimates on costs (for freight, but i suppose it can double as payload cost), though those are of course setting specific...

At TL9 reaction drives (interface rates) are rated as ~ 50 k$ per st going up and ~ 5k$ per st going down. Beanstalks gives 10 k$ per st either way. All values are in standard gravity.

Elevators are still kinda slow and are rather exposed to radiation especially at low TLs (depends on design, but the heavier it gets the more expensive it gets).
