It is easy to find out yourself by some simple math. Those numbers change all the time so you can ask the question and the correct answer may only be valid for a very short time.

You can assume a S3 burns what, 600watts? so .6KWH for every hour it runs.

.6 X 24hours a day X 30.5 days = 439.2KWH X .10 = $43.92 per month in power costs

Now go here:

Put in 450GHS and you will see it reports .129btc per month or 35.69 in usd at exchange rate of 275. Keep in mind these numbers reported are generally 10% over what is usually achieved after you factor downtime, orphans, and other unforeseen factors.

So you can see at .10kwh you will be paying around $10 a month to run your s3, given the price of bitcoin and difficulty stays flat (which it wont)

Methodology is good but an S3 is 340W not 600W
