How fast do pine trees grow per year and what is the approximate cost to have a 60' pine tree removed?

It varies according to the variety--there are dwarf pines that just grow a few feet and others that grow larger than yours. Some kinds of pines grow just a few inches per year and others take off like Jack's beanstalk. Take a bunch of needles and a cone to a nursery and they can tell you what you have.
Cost varies too by area. It depends on how easily the tree cutter can get his equipment in and if the wood's something he wants to keep. They may charge extra to grind out the stump. Make sure you know if that's included! Recently one neighbor just had one tree down and they charged him $500. Another had 11 trees down for $1500--bulk pricing? Evidently it's also best if the tree cutter doesn't climb the tree but uses a bucket truck. If it's a tree that splits into two trunks and you're only cutting one, make sure the cut trunk is angled so rot doesn't get in.

I don't know about the rate of growth exactly, But, my neighbors have some pine trees that seem to grow a foot or two a year.
I have a friend who does tree work. He removed a 40-foot maple from my neighbor's yard for $250 (stump and all).

Most pines will grow a foot a year, get estimates on the removal, they will vary.
