See the following from How to upgrade to macOS Monterey - Apple Support

If upgrading from macOS Sierra or later, your Mac needs 26GB of available storage to upgrade. If upgrading from an earlier release, your Mac needs up to 44GB of available storage.


To free up space, see information in Free up storage space on your Mac - Apple Support (and be sure to note the "Free up storage space in other ways" section of that support article).
