It depends on the specific AP you're looking at. That info is in the specs. Very easy for you to check. 

 

If you're asking in a general sense? There is no single answer.

Somewhere between 1mW and 1MW. That's milliwatt and megawatt, respectively. If you look on the outlet side of the repeater, it should have voltage and amperage ratings. 

 

Amps x Volts = Wattage used

Unless you're paying like $1 a kWh and need to save the extra $7 a month then it's still not worth it.

That one is probably drawing maybe 2 to 5 watts from the wall.

1500mW or 1500 Kcal per Big Mac... I'll take the wireless thingy...

My Ubiquiti AC LR  Access Point is 6.5W max. No idea what your AP is, but this might be a decent data point.
