In the UK at typical prices about £45,000-£50,000 is achievable if you do everything in the optimal order. It's relatively easy to price it up using any flight schools rate-sheet. To finish your fATPL with the CPL test you need at least 200 hours total (with a minimum of 12 hours multi engine) and 77 hours of dual instruction. Plus the cost of medical, ATPL theory, exams, flight tests and licence and landing fees.
Using £175ph (SEP), £450ph (MEP) and £60(Instructor) as an example:
(188x175)+(12×450)+(77*60) = £42,920.
That's doing it all in the UK at school rates. If you split your hour building into 2 blocks of 2 weeks of 50 hours and do it in Florida at £100 per hour (probably cheaper) then even if you spend £2000 each time on flights and hotels you'll save £3500 which brings the cost of aircraft and instructor below £40,000. Plus you'll get the hours a lot quicker.
