The answer to this question would be best said: It really depended on the slave owner. Often the slave owner would want the money he spend -- plus a little more. Often this took many years for a slave to save since they didn't get paid. Often the money they got was from extra work.. they did after their normal work was done.
With that said: Often slave owners didn't see or feel the need to let a slave buy his or her own freedom and would not let him or her buy their freedom for any amount of money.

Plantation owners preferred African slaves over indentured servants because slaves were seen as a more permanent and cost-effective labor source. Slaves were considered property for life, providing long-term labor stability, while indentured servants worked for a defined period before gaining freedom. Additionally, racial prejudices and laws made it easier to control and subjugate African slaves compared to European indentured servants.
