From the day the 2-month long type-rating begins until line checked takes upto 6 months. Expect about 3 to 3500 euros for this entire period.

Meanwhile, you pay for your own hotels, B&B, food, taxis/busses/petrol, other travel expenses, uniform, airport IDs, etc.
You'll earn a lot more in your first year at RYR than newly qualified lawyers and accountants, and they pay for their own 'uniform', food and travel too.

In addition, Ryanair contract pilots are entitled to set-off work related expenses against tax liability and generally pay little tax in the first year due to the cost of the Type Rating and associated training costs.
