Taxi from JFK to Pelham, NY
A taxi from JFK to Pelham works out at about $83.50 on the meter formula for the roughly 23-mile run, before tolls, surcharges, and tip, and that worked total is the title answer. Slow-traffic time can add more, which is why a booked car for the same run is quoted per trip in writing instead.

The run, priced honestly
John F. Kennedy International Airport to Pelham is about 23 miles. The usual driving routing runs from JFK north on the Van Wyck Expressway, across the Whitestone Bridge, and north toward Pelham in Westchester County. The taxi meter on the same 23-mile run works out at $83.50 on the meter formula of $3.00 plus $0.70 per fifth of a mile, before tolls, surcharges, and tip. That figure is the meter answer to the title question, and it is shown as a check, not as a promise: traffic, not distance, decides the final metered total.
Your options, compared
By taxi: the meter figure above, from the JFK taxi stands, with tolls added where the route uses a tolled crossing. By booked car: door to door, terminal to the Pelham address, with the total fixed in writing before travel and flight tracking on the pickup, the best choice with luggage or on a late arrival. By transit: AirTrain JFK to Jamaica, subway into Manhattan, then Metro-North New Haven Line toward Pelham, roughly 1 hour 30 minutes or more in total and far cheaper for one person travelling light.
