At the time of posting this answer, it was $301,495,318,834 and climbing.

For details on how they came up with this number, see here:

A report published by John P. Murtha (member of Congress from
Pennsylvania) that is fairly recent is also available here:

From that source: "We are spending $8 billion a month in Iraq. That
equates to $2 billion a week, or $267 million a day, or $11 million an
hour."

I hope this meets your needs. Please let me know if you require any
clarification and I will do my best to further assist you.
