Easy to figure out...
What do you pay per kW/h?
Price per kW/h * kW usage of device * Hours in a month
For me, that would be $0.13*0.03*720=$2.81 per month
My whole grow costs a hair below $25 a month. At max efficiency, I'd guess I can produce at least 3oz every 2 months, which would mean I pay $1.68 per gram. I'd say I get a pretty good deal.
I think everyone should figure out how much everything involved with their grow costs each month, it's good to know.

FWIW: I considered purchasing this very fan for use in my setup (smaller version, but same thing from Home Depot). It seemed like the price was right.
They are loud and have much lower CFM than rated on the box.
I would strongly consider something else. I did and I'm happy for it.
Here's the thread that I started for the 4" version of this fan:

These and marine bilge fans show up from time to time. All agree the form factor and price are great. I've never seen anyone come back and say it was a good purchase.
prolificgrower get your self the "Kill A Watt" its perfect for keeping track of how many KW anything is using and has displays for watts/amps to make sure your not overloading any circuit. they are like 20 bucks from new egg and im my opinion worth every penny. im actually going to be ordering a few more
