100hrs PIC, which includes at least
35 hrs in helicopters
10 hours cross country in helicopters

20hrs of training on the areas listed in 61.127b3 to include
10hrs of instrument training in an aircraft
1 helicopter VFR cross country of over 50 nautical miles lasting over 2 hrs, and 3 hrs in a helicopter in preparation for the checkride, and 10 hrs helicopter solo, and 5 hrs at night in a helicopter.

Certainly there's more to it than that, but expect to pay about $15000.
Yeah I looked at 61.129, but like you said, there's probably more than just that. Are you estimating 15K for just the commercial or the PPL-H, Instrument, and commercial? Thanks for the help! I appreciate it.
