Bosch B36IT900NP against the category
That's 51.6% above the refrigerator category average of 386 kWh/yr, and ranks 3,949 of 4,704 certified refrigerators for annual running cost, 1 being cheapest.

What sits beside it in the ranking
ELLIPSE ERBM221SE ($110/yr, 585 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the Bosch B36IT900NP. Zline SRBIV-36 ($110/yr, 584 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Same brand, different models
Bosch makes 38 ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators; this one ranks 21 of 38 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the B30IR905SP at $52/yr, and its priciest, the B36FD52SN at $132/yr.
Cost over its typical lifespan
13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $110/year, the Bosch B36IT900NP adds up to about $1,430 in electricity over that span.
Shopping for a new one
The Bosch B36IT900NP runs above its category average. If the refrigerator 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 $110/year every year.

Protecting what you have
A refrigerator like the Bosch B36IT900NP 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
Two sourced numbers, nothing modeled: ENERGY STAR's certified kWh/yr for this exact model, and EIA's published state electricity rate. The full Refrigerator category page shows all 4,704 refrigerators ranked by cost; the state-rate guide covers the half of this number that isn't the appliance.
