Choose a compound percentage rate, a straight-line loss down to residual value, or a rate derived from a current value.

Annual percentage

Applies an annual rate to the remaining value. You can separate the first year to model a different initial drop.

Straight-line

Distributes total loss evenly until reaching the entered residual value.

Observed value

Uses the initial and current values to obtain total loss and an equivalent annual rate.

Scope of the result

The estimate depends on your assumptions. It does not use market databases or adjust automatically for mileage, trim, mechanical condition or location.

For a purchase or sale decision, compare this projection with similar listings, a mechanical inspection, service history and the vehicle's actual condition.

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate vehicle depreciation?

Apply an annual rate to the initial value, distribute the loss evenly down to a residual value, or compare the initial value with an entered current value.

What does residual value mean?

It is the estimated minimum value you want to preserve at the end of the term. Under the straight-line method, the loss is divided evenly until reaching that value.

What is the first-year rate for?

It models an initial drop different from later years. If left blank, the calculator uses the same annual rate for the full term.

What is the equivalent annual rate?

It is the constant annual rate that would take the initial value to the estimated final value over the entered term.

Does the calculator show market price?

No. The result is illustrative and depends on your assumptions. It does not replace an appraisal, mechanical inspection or actual purchase or sale offer.
