I certainly don't have much of a monthly spend. The initial cost is buying the cage and any extras like shelves. After that I just buy food really. Substrate in bulk so maybe £23 every 6 months on substrate. A bag of hamster food lasts a few months with two Syrians so maybe £15 every 6 months. So that's about £6 or £7 a month. Unless you factor in extra heat in the winter at night! I do buy the large hemp mats but one of those lasts a long time and usually just for setting up a new cage. The odd fuzzbutts out of cage toy - but usually only at Christmas!
