I am not sure what the dealer would charge, but replacing the belt is actually a very easy DIY. You loosen the upper and lower alternator bolts, move the alternator towards the engine block to remove it, slip the new one on in its place, hold tension on the alternator, and tighten the alternator bolts.

The one thing you have to be careful of is not breaking the OCV (the small cylindrical device on the left side of the engine) when holding tension on the alternator.
