Some information about on * dime from ngram by books.google.com:

This construction 'on one's dime' is more rare than the same with articles (a, the):

[![NGRAM from books.google.com][1]][1]NGRAM from books.google.com [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/2dZ7X.png

The coffee I’m willing to get but not on my dime.”

Then brought her up here while you're still clocked in officially on my dime?"

Then “get your ass back here” became “fine, but this is on your dime, Adams.”

“I know that, but you were working Charles’s land, taking risks on his dime.

“Just don’t forget,” Jimmy coos over the phone as we discuss the details of his upcoming trip to Tokyo on my dime.

I don't know exactly meaning of this construction but I suppose this is like "at my expense", when you care of something on your own responsibility.

About style maybe somebody can say more but it's look like for me much less formal than "at my expense".

  And that it's appear not so long time ago I think it can't be formal anywhere. enter image description here I hope this will be helpful for you.
