It will depend on how much AC you use. Electriicity here is very expensive and depending on size of your house, number of electonics, light use and again AC it can be anywhere form $40 to $200 or more a month. If you use over 700KWH a month then your cost actually doubles.

We have a peretty lare villa but do not run the AC and our costs are about $90 a motnh

So take inventory - refrigerator, hot water heater, lights, fans, tv, microwave, toaster, blender, computers etc etc.

All this adds up and you need to get a handle on how many KWH per month you use. Here the more you use, the more expensive per KWH.
