Full operating cost, variable vs fixed mix and a line by line breakdown: the math that decides the purchase.

Jet Tracker estimate: about US$ 3,444 per flight hour at 400 h/year, of which US$ 2,707 per hour is variable cost (fuel, engine program, maintenance reserves, fees) plus US$ 294,500 per year of fixed cost (crew, hangar, insurance, training).
About US$ 1,377,452 per year (roughly R$ 6,905,582 at today's exchange rate), of which 79% is variable cost (depends on hours flown) and 21% is fixed cost (exists even with the aircraft parked).
About US$ 1,400 per flight hour, at the US$ 6.67 per gallon used in this simulation. Fuel is usually the largest variable cost item.
About US$ 7.52 per nautical mile, at a cruise speed of 458 kt. It is the right metric to compare aircraft of different speeds on the same route.
Variable cost only exists when the aircraft flies: fuel, engine program, hourly maintenance reserves and landing fees. Fixed cost exists even with the aircraft in the hangar: crew, hangarage, insurance, training and subscriptions. That is why total cost per hour falls the more hours per year the aircraft flies.
