Very easy to do. Look into the use of timers and then just do some very basic math. If you wish to connect to the other computer via server and get exact times, log use, whatever, whatever, it will be a bit more complex. But if a window with the layout (hypothetical cost of $15 and hour):

Computer # Time (HHMM): Cost: Buttons:
Computer 1: 00:00 $0 Start Stop
Computer 2: 01:00 $15 Start Stop
Computer 3: 03:00 $45 Start Stop
Computer 4: 06:00 $90 Start Stop
Computer 5: 00:00 $0 Start Stop
Computer 6: 02:00 $30 Start Stop

...Is adequate and your willing to just manually start and stop it, it's incredibly easy. I would even be willing to do it for you for free (donations very much appreciated though, especially if you're getting payed).

Hope I helped. :)
