Extending a visa (VOA visas) officially costs 500,000 rupiahs, the same rate applies to tourist and social visas. If you extend through an agent, you will also need to add the agent's commission.

You should apply for an extension a week before the arrival visa expires and two weeks before the social or tourist visa expires.
