That's 11.7% above the freezer category average of 401 kWh/yr, and ranks 433 of 658 certified freezers for annual running cost, 1 being cheapest.

What sits beside it in the ranking
Elisii DFFFD1738-28BLK-LS ($84/yr, 449 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the Monogram ZIF181NPN****. Monogram ZIF181NBR**** ($84/yr, 448 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Comparing Monogram's own models
Monogram makes 8 ENERGY STAR certified freezers; this one ranks 2 of 8 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the ZIF181NBR**** at $84/yr, and its priciest, the ZIF361NPR**** at $122/yr.
Lifespan
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components does not publish a figure for freezers, so no lifetime cost is shown here rather than a guessed one. The annual and monthly figures above stand on their own.
Is it worth replacing?
The Monogram ZIF181NPN**** runs above its category average. If the freezer 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 $84/year every year.
Compare current ENERGY STAR certified freezers before buying.
Protecting what you have
A freezer like the Monogram ZIF181NPN**** is a real household expense whether or not it needs replacing yet; a protection plan is one way to budget for a repair rather than a full replacement.
Sourcing
Ranked 433 of 658, the Monogram ZIF181NPN**** sits in the middle of the freezer category, see the guide to why your state changes this number for the other half of the math. The 448 kWh/yr figure is ENERGY STAR's own certification, not a wattage estimate; exact dataset IDs are on the data sources page.
