Probably don't need new calipers, just the rotors need to be either
turned or replaced and of course, new pads.

If you do it yourself (e.g. buy the new rotors and pads), total cost
is around $125.

Get it done at a shop and it'll probably be twice that much.

How old are the brakes? It sounds like you have something wedged between
the pads and rotor. I had this happen once, and it cost me new rotors as a
result.
