Right next to it on the list
A rank or two either side of the Honeywell TPFIT50APWK: DuraComfort DH50PH ($97/yr, 516 kWh/yr), then Honeywell TPFIT50AWK ($97/yr, 516 kWh/yr).
Same brand, different models
Ranked 5 of Honeywell's 8 certified dehumidifiers, this sits between the TPFIT25AWK ($55/yr, the brand's cheapest) and the TPFIT50WK ($97/yr, its priciest).
Lifespan
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.
Shopping for a new one
The Honeywell TPFIT50APWK runs above its category average. If the dehumidifier you actually own is older still, likely well past ENERGY STAR's efficiency baseline when it was made, a current certified model could cost meaningfully less than this model's $97/year every year.

If you're keeping it
Whether or not the Honeywell TPFIT50APWK ever needs replacing, a repair is the more common failure for a dehumidifier, one a protection plan budgets for ahead of time.
Where this number comes from
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 516 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.
