Currently, the only charges form the British side against him are, that he avoided the criminal procedure (he was, on the British law, a fugitive) by his "visit" on the Equadorian Embassy.
Meanwhile, the British police has spent 11million font to guard him.
Now consider the case if he wouldn't be extradited to the U.S on some reason, and any other "extra-judicial measurement" (for example, committing suicide in his cell) wouldn't happen.

I fail to understand how the suicide mention is any relevant to this question. Is it related to a statement or some other fact? How are the second and third paragraph any useful to this question or its answers?

Up to 12 months in jail. Just by coincidence, only this week some guy who was given a jail sentence of several years for manslaughter, then jumped bail and left the country, and was extradited back to the UK, was given six months jail for jumping bail.
The punishment is for jumping bail, which is an offence independent of whether the original charges are true or false. So the cases are somehow comparable, except Assange jumped bail for seven years, which would be worse, and Assange didn't leave the country but entered a foreign embassy, which I have no idea how that compares to leaving the country.

Julian Assange has been convicted (in absentia) of breaching the Bail Act 1976, specifically Section 6; to whit, Offence of absconding by person released on bail.
If a person who—
(a)has been released on bail in criminal proceedings, and
(b)having reasonable cause therefor, has failed to surrender to custody,fails to surrender to custody at the appointed place as soon after the appointed time as is reasonably practicable he shall be guilty of an offence.
The punishment for this offence is
"a term not exceeding 12 months or to a fine or to both."
Under the circumstances and given the extreme nature of his contempt of court proceedings (hiding for years and making snarky remarks in the press) it seems likely that he will receive the full sentence as well as some kind of fine.
He will probably serve a term of at least 3 months in jail (the judge will likely not take his time in the Ecuadorian Embassy into consideration, but he did spend some time on remand and bail before he absconded) after which he will face deportation to either Sweden, the US or his home country of Australia.
