Well here is a breakdown on average cost in wattage to run your home appliance.
The following is an example how to simply calculate your own cost.
A window fan will run at highest setting 200 watts per hour.
Let’s say you cost for electric is 10 cents per 1000 kWh.
Let’s say each day you run your window fan for 5 hours a day.
200 watts per hour X 5 hours = 1000 watts a day
Your cost is times by your electric rate and in this example to run your window fan for 5 hours cost. you 10 cents to run a day.
