You have to check the Article Processing Charge or Publication charge of the particular journal.
For people like you and me, many journal do not disclose fees before submission if article. After submission and review of your article, they will tell you the fee.
It is always better to choose open access journal with minimum or no APC.
If you spend some time you may find indexed journals those fully or partially waive article processing charge (APC), especially for authors from developing countries. But most often these journals are not 'open access' meaning the user have to pay to read/download the full paper (unless their institutes subscribe).
There are very few open access journals those don't charge APC, Bulletin of the World Health Organization is such a journal.

The costs influencing paper publications have been on the rise and some journals have to pay the reviewers for the prompt evaluation of manuscripts. Consequently, very often the researcher should pay a regular fee for publishing his/her paper especially when s/he is in a hurry and there is a time limitation.
