NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components does not publish a figure for dehumidifiers, so no lifetime cost is shown here rather than a guessed one. The annual and monthly figures above stand on their own.
Weighing a replacement
Efficient as certified dehumidifiers go, $64/year is a reasonable baseline if you're comparing what else is on the market.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
$64/year to run is the predictable cost of the GARVEE SAYRAM-RCS32(Y)-N4-3; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
How this was checked
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 342 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. The full Dehumidifier category page shows all 546 dehumidifiers ranked by cost; the state-rate guide covers the half of this number that isn't the appliance.
