Car Depreciation Calculator

Estimate a vehicle value under a constant percentage depreciation assumption. Enter an original value, elapsed years and an annual depreciation rate.

Calculate

Use a decimal point, without thousands separators. Prefilled values are editable examples. Currency selection changes display, not exchange rates.

Enter your values and select Calculate.

Formula and calculation method

Estimated value = original value × (1 − annual depreciation / 100)^years.

Worked example

A vehicle worth 20,000 depreciating by 15% a year is worth 20,000 × 0.85³ = 12,282.50 after three years in this model.

Assumptions and limitations

Real resale prices depend on mileage, condition, model, service history and market demand. Depreciation is rarely a constant percentage. This calculator does not access Argus valuations, dealer quotes or live listings.
