Depends how far you've been.
If you use the via Michelin website it calculates the total.
If you take the A16/A29 route from Calais to Perros-Guirec you've got a drive of 403 miles (estimated at 6¼ hours, excluding breaks), with tolls equivalent to approx £16.

Thanks peeps.
Use your credit card to pay the big distances, saves your euros for spending on goodies.
Not that you asked, but a piece of information worth knowing should you drive on French toll roads: When you finally exit the toll – your average speed is automatically calculated from the time you entered the toll system and distance traveled. Should you have exceeded the speed limit – expect a heavy fine. That is why many take a break within the many rest areas on route – significantly reducing their average speed over the journey.
that's an urban myth hymie.

That is a myth and lots of French people a couple of years ago were quite peeved about it until they realised it wasn't true. No way would the private co-operate with the government. One of the ways they get so many people using the motorways is that you can do 160km per hour on a good stretch of road notably the A16 from Boulogne down towards Paris (very few lorries use this motorway, preferring the A1).
As for the price of the tolls, all depends on the company who owns them. Some are more expensive than others. Take for example the bridge from the mainland over to Noimoutier; once the tolls paid for the bridge it's now free.
That should read 'Noirmoutier'
