At the current price cap rate of 26.11p per kWh, a typical fridge freezer costs about £1.25 per day, which is £456.19 a year on the usage below.
This one cycles. It switches on and off rather than running flat out, so multiplying its plate rating by the hours it is switched on overstates the cost, often by a factor of two or three. The figures here assume it draws full power for the time shown, which makes them a ceiling rather than a bill.

Across the range of powers for this appliance class, one day costs between 62.7p and £2.51. Your own figure is on the rating plate, usually on the back or inside the door, and it is the only one that is true for you.
Cycles constantly, running perhaps a third of the time. Multiplying the plate rating by 24 hours overstates the cost roughly threefold.
