The departure tax (officially called the Derecho de No Inmigrante or DNI) is approximately 20-30 USD per person. For travelers arriving by air, this fee is almost always included in your airline ticket price.
If you entered Mexico by land and are departing by air, you may need to pay the departure tax separately at the airport. Keep some cash or a credit card available just in case. At smaller regional airports, payment may be required in Mexican pesos.
For travelers on cruise ships or departing by land, the departure tax typically does not apply, though border crossing fees may exist depending on your route.
