Horse-power: convert that to kilowatt. Multiply by the time in hours you have the pump on, to get kilowatt-hours. Multiply the result by the cost of each kilowatt-hour. (Look at a recent electricity bill - if it doesn't explicitly state the cost per kilowatt-hour, you can divide the total of the bill by the number of kilowatt-hours consumed.)

Amperes: You would also need the voltage. If you multiply amperes by volts, you get the power in watts. Divide the result by thousand to get kilowatts. Then continue as above.

Comment

As the horsepower quoted for a machine is always its output power, you will need to know the efficiency of the machine in order to determine the input power (in watts), before performing the above calculations. The input power is always higher than the output power. Efficiency varies according to (a) the power rating of the motor, and (2) the actual load it is supplying, and can be less than 80% for smaller motors.
