160watts x 18hr= 2880 watt hour per day, your utility bill will have what you pay per kwh. 1 kilowatt =1000watts, so your using 86.4kwh per month based upon 30 days. If your kwh is .14 per kwh x 86= $12 per month for lighting. Your fan has a amp draw and we can calculate that also, just tell me your amps of each device, its on the name plate
