Sorry Alan; my mistake.

Are my sentences grammatically correct?(Is comma required after month?)

1- What is the total expense of your house per month, rent included?

2- Oh, it is 10-000 $ per month.

Thanks for your help

Hi Tom,

You asked:

1- What is the total expense of your house per month, rent included?

2- Oh, it is 10-000 $ per month.

I think it would be better to write this as follows:

1 What are the total outgoings on your house, including rent?

2 Oh, it's $10,00 a month.

I would use the comma as this would indicate a pause in conversation as you are adding something extra to your question. I don't think 'expenses' is the right word here as it would apply usually to personal expenditure. That's why I've used outgoings and you could also say running costs.
