Look at the manufacturers label for the air conditioner to determine the wattage rating. Use that to figure out how many watts per hour. For ease of comparison/math convert that number to kilowatts. Your electric company usually bills customers in kilowatts. Multiply the kilowatts for your AC unit times the hours per day and multiply that by the cost per kWH, divide by 100 (decimal placement) and you have your answer.
Using a 3.5 KWh (Central) conditioner:
12 cents electricity: $312usd month, or $3,744usd a year.
40 cents electricity: $1042usd month, or $12,504 a year.
Using a 0.9 KWh (medium) conditioner:
12 cents electricity: $80usd month, $960 a year.
40 cents electricity: $268usd a month, $3,216 a year.
Using a 0.5 KWh (small) conditioner:
12 cents electricity: $45usd a month, $540 a year.
40 cents electricity: $149usd a month, $1,788 a year.
Unit cost * kW * hours / 100=
For example a 1000W unit operated for 24 hours a day at a cost of 10 cents per kWH:
10*1*24/100= $2.40 a day, running continuously.

It is possible for a 12000 BTU air conditioner to run on a 15 amp breaker, but it may cause the breaker to trip if there are other appliances drawing power on the same circuit. It is recommended to have a dedicated circuit for the air conditioner to prevent overloading the breaker.
