Look at a power bill and figure out your cost per Killawat hour (KWH). For instance mine is 6 cents/kwh. Now a 250 watt takes 1/4 of that or 1 1/2 cents per hour to run my 250 watt. It's on 12 hours a day so it cost me about 18 cents per day or about $6 a month. A 400watt would cost me about $9.50 a month in power. Your cost per killawatt may be higher. People tell me my power is cheap. Hope that helps.
