The aircraft will run about $1500 per hour depending on the type. Pilots generally work by the day, so expect to pay them $4-500 each for the day. Parking is normally free (if you buy gas anyway) but landing fees can add another few hunderd to a few thousand dollars. For a trip from LA to NY, you’re probably looking at somewhere near $10,000 or so. Not counting payments on the aircraft, insurance, maintenance, hangaring, catering, and all the other things that could easily double that number.

most of the time private jets are on an annual budget, the pilots are on salary, gas maint, and all that other stuff is adveraged by the amount of hours they fly per year then that is divided out to a per hour cost.
some othe the larger jets - gulfstreams etc can cost in the upwards of 3 to 4 thousand per flight hour to operate. i work in the industry and you would be surprised how many of these airplanes are used to go to golf games and flying their pets to one of there vacation homes in aspen or hawai

$6-$20k/hour all inclusing and that range is from a Citation bravo to a Gulfstream V. On the Citation at 500mph ground speed that would be $12/mile.

These are very rough figures, the sorts of companies who provide the services and the sorts of people who use them don’t like to discuss costs very often.

This really depends on what type of aircraft the person owns. But the figure that you are looking for is known as the Direct Operation Cost and there are many figures that go into get this final number. They usaully break the number into how much it cost to operate the aircraft per hour, not mile as someone else said.
There are many figures that go into this cost, fuel, maintenance cost, insurance, pilots, trip expenses, pilots, etc…. so the numbers can really vary depending upon the type of aircraft. It could be 1200/hour or it could be 5000/hour.
I have worked in this industry for many years, so if you have more specific questions, just let me know.
