A recent estimate conducted by analyst Rod Hall for Business Insider claimed that Google was paying Apple approximately $9 billion per year in order to maintain the agreement signed between the two companies. 

Hall speculated further, stressing that the cost could rise to $12 billion in 2019. 

According to the analyst, the amount that Google is reportedly paying can be justified, as Apple substantially drives Google's traffic.
