Most providers do not offer this type of call in their API at all. Gogrid are the only provider that gives a full xml 'summary' of current billing status but this is the exception not the rule. Rimuhosting allow you to query the billing status for a particular server instance.
Estimation of costs is obviously not a good option but some providers don't even expose an 'Instance launch time'.
