1.5 kWh for every hour in use.

Ex. 6 hours a day = 1.5 x 6 x 30 x $.12 = $32.40 per month.

Assumes you do it every day for six hours and 12¢ per kWh, adjust the equation to fit your situation.

It's free to adjust dampeners or close vents in unused rooms on upper floors.

It’s about 4 hours/day, Skins. One guest bedroom upstairs is about all the latitude we have upstairs. We do keep the vent closed in a downstairs bedroom.

Sounds like your wife is good at guessing electrical expenses then. Because changing the 6 to a 4 makes it just over $20 per month assuming 12¢ per kWh.
