How much? That's going to hurt (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

damage

This clue is a double definition.

'how much?' is the first definition.
(damage can mean cost - what's the damage?)

'that's going to hurt' is the second definition.
(damage does harm or hurts)

(Other definitions for damage that I've seen before include "Ravages" , "Harm, loss" , "To vandalise" , "Deface, harm" , "destruction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
