First you need to find out what your pump horsepower is, then get your electricity rate from your monthly statement. Here we go.
Cost = ( Horse Power x 746 x Hours x Days x rate ) / 1000
i.e. if the horsepower of your pump = 1 HP and you are running 24 hours for 30 days, the rate is $0.06 for 1 KWH, so your monthly bill for pump itself will be as follow:
Cost = ( 1 x 746 x 24 x 30 x 0.06 ) / 1000 = $32.22 ( tax excluded)
