How much would it cost to host a minecraft server?

I'm hosting a minecraft server on my Mac desktop. Out of a 24 hour day, it is on for about 16-24 hours. How much will this cost? I know the software is free, but what about the internet and bandwidth usage?How much would it cost to host a minecraft server?
I spend about 10 bucks a month (Not including the 1000 USD for server hardware) on just bandwith; its a residential connection however so its monthly instead of by bandwidth. to make it easier for players to connect i use a free service from no-ip that redirects anyone who uses "rodun.servegame.com" directly to my ip. the only drawback is that you are forced to use the default port number.How much would it cost to host a minecraft server?
If you allocate 512MB of RAM, you'd get an efficient 1-6 player server slot. Here's a small table to show you what each tier will give you (approximate prices in USD):

512MB || W/ plugins - $4 - $10

1-6 || 1-3



1024MB || W/plugins - $10 - $20

1-20 || 1-10



2048MB || W/plugins - $ 20 - $50

1-40 || 1-25



4096MB || W/plugins $50 - $60

1- 60 || 1-40



6GB || W/plugins - $60-$80

1-100 || 1-60



8GB || W/plugins - $80 - $ 120

1-150 || 1-100



16GB || W/plugins - $120 - $150

1-200 || 1-150



32GB || W/plugins - $150 - $200

Can cost as little as a few dollars, and as much as a few hundred. Depends on how much Bandwidth gets used. How much data is processed, etc.
