They are all very unnatural. I would say “You can keep the money that’s left over after buying your hat.”

1. I would substitute the word that to replace there. "You may keep the money that is left after buying your hat."
2. There are two sentences together. You can add a semicolon ;
" There is money left after buying your hat; you may keep the money."
3 and 4 are too confusing and wordy.
You may want to change it to a conditional sentence.
"If there is money left after buying your hat, you may keep it."

No 4 definitely incorrect.
No 3 too wordy. ...that is left after buying your hat.
No 2 Use a dash, not a comma. -
No1. Incorrect. THAT is left, not there is left.
