The last time I checked the numbers was 5 years ago now:
In 2019 and 2019 dollars; NASA budget's was $1.46 billion for ISS operations, not including space transportation.
$1.46 billion / 3 people / 365 days => $1.3 million / day.
That includes everything from consumables to the ground support staff.
Axiom apparently paid NASA only about $10 million in 2021 to send 4 tourists to the station for 15 days - while SpaceX got paid the full price for the Dragon.
