Quickie, and hopefully not too difficult for someone smarter than me

If I leave my PC upstairs switched on all the time it will obviously use more energy during a 24 hour period than it would if I switched it off every time I'd finished with it.

So, how do I work out how much it will cost to run that computer full-time over a 24-hour period (or indeed any other appliance for that matter)?

Thanks
