I calculated the power loss of a switching regulator and it doesn't match the datasheet. Am I missing something?

I'm trying to figure out how On Semi's LM2575D2T-5G is only 77% efficient. It's the fixed 5 V output version of the component. The datasheet gives Vin = 12 V and Iload = 1 A. Based on this, power in = ...
