In Ethereum one can get the gas price using web3.eth.gasPrice.
In Tezos, does any RPC provide the gas price, or is there a formula to calculate the gas price?

In Tezos, gas does not have a monetary translation. It does not "cost" you anything to execute a contract with 10 gas vs 1M gas. Gas is simply an internal limitation to prevent contracts from running amok.

After asking, there is no equivalent of a gas price in Tezos. You pay a transaction fee, and this fee should include everything. Doing some stats on the fees you may get an upper-bound on the gas price.

How do you actually find this price through either an API call to a block explorer or an RPC call to a Tezos node? Sep 4 '20 at 7:49

tzstats provides an API that will give you statistics on created blocks. They provide for example an average gas price which is just total_paid_fees_in_the_block / total_used_gas_in_the_block. This means that this average gas price depends on what people proposed as fees what bakers accepted. Sep 29 '20 at 7:56
