I have a 4x4x4 oven 10,000 watt and my bill runs about $60.00 a month for my whole shop. I run my oven about every other day.

I got this off here some time ago. This should help in figuring the cost of running your oven per hour.

The total draw of the heating elements is about 12kw. My local power rate is 8.7cents/kwhr, so the oven would cost about $1.04 per hour to operate.

Also this one:
20,000 watts 5 hours a day x 22 working days a month
20 kw x 5 x 22 = 2200 kw x 0.08$ per kw = 176$ per month.
example based on oven running full power for 5 hours 5 days a week for a month,

Like above, just do the math....

You can find out what your pay for power by looking at a recent power bill. Keep in mind that utility companies generally charge a "devilery charge" for the power, so keep that in mind. Typical cost is somewhere around $0.10 per kilowatt hour.

My oven for example is 6000watts. To run it for 1hr means I use 6 killowatt hours, and costs me roughly $0.60

Of course... it's not on 100% of the time once warmed up, so the math get's tricky. But this will give you an idea of costs.
