These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The P train to Tikkurila goes to Tikkurila station; the P train and tram 5 goes to Katajanokan terminaali. Neither reaches Helsinki Central Station (Rautatieasema).
The P train to Tikkurila is quicker: 8 min against 43 min. The P train and tram 5 varies between 40 and 45 minutes.
P train to Tikkurila: 04:52–01:22. P train and tram 5: 05:36–22:53.

You need a ticket for two zones at least: HSL has no single-zone ticket, so the BC single is the smallest. Have it on your phone before you board; HSL's penalty fare is EUR 100 plus a single.
Only the P train stops at Tikkurila from the airport. The I train goes the other way round the ring.

The last tram is well before midnight, about 22:53 — hours before the last train. Landing late for Katajanokka means a taxi for the last leg, not this option.
The I train works as well as the P for this leg, just five minutes slower to Helsinki Central.
No extra fare: the ABC ticket already bought for the train covers the tram, inside its 90-minute validity.
