At 10 cents per kWh (Kilowatt hour), one 100 watt incandescent light bulb ran for 24 hours straight will cost 24 cents a day. $7.30 a month, $87.60 a year.

kWh = (Watts Used * Hours per Day * Days per Month) / 1000

Cost per Month = kWh * Cost per kWh

Yes a 220 volt light bulb will run on a 120 volt circuit but at 1/4 of the wattage that the light bulb is rated at. A 100 watt light bulb on 220 would would be equal to a 25 watt light bult on 120 volt system.
