Car Depreciation Calculator

Estimate year-by-year vehicle value from your own depreciation assumptions without a live vehicle lookup.

Two formula-based methods

Declining balance multiplies value by (1 − rate) each year. Straight line subtracts equal annual amounts until the entered ending value.

No live valuation

This is a formula-based estimate using your assumptions. It does not use a VIN, make, model, mileage, accident record, or current resale market.

The editable example inputs above demonstrate the calculation and expose the assumptions used in every displayed result.
