This site has a very good operating cost comparison of various pumps and their operating wattage. It shows monthly costs between $8-$30
It also has some great info on pipe sizing and head loss.
A lot of other factors weigh in with pool pumps but traditionally 1 hp =745 watts. Which can give you an idea of the benefits of proper pump sizing vs oversizing.
