Car Depreciation Calculator

Estimate a vehicle value scenario from its purchase price, age, distance driven since purchase, expected driving and the depreciation rates you choose.

Choose a display currency only; this tool does not convert currencies. Keep all values in the same currency.

Model: purchase price × (1 − annual rate)^(years) × (1 − distance rate)^(distance driven since purchase ÷ 10,000). Enter the odometer reading when you bought the vehicle and its current reading. Future years use your expected distance. Rates are your assumptions, not market data.

Illustration only, not a vehicle appraisal, trade-in quote, sale price, loan payoff or financial advice. Actual value depends on make, model, trim, condition, location, history and market demand.

How do you estimate car depreciation?

This scenario compounds your annual rate for each elapsed year and your distance-based rate for every 10,000 units driven since purchase. Future years also use the expected annual distance you enter. It is arithmetic based on your assumptions, not a market valuation, dealer offer or financial advice.

Frequently asked questions

How do you estimate car depreciation?

This scenario compounds your annual rate for each elapsed year and your distance-based rate for every 10,000 units driven since purchase. Future years also use the expected annual distance you enter. It is arithmetic based on your assumptions, not a market valuation, dealer offer or financial advice.

Are my vehicle details uploaded?

No. The calculation runs in this browser. Your price, mileage and assumptions are not sent to a processing service.

Does this show my car’s exact market value?

No. It applies the annual and distance rates you choose. It does not know the vehicle make, model, trim, condition, location, history, local listings or current demand.

How does mileage affect the estimate?

The model compounds your entered decrease for each 10,000 kilometres or miles driven since purchase. Future years use the expected annual distance you enter; it is not a researched market adjustment.

What does the calculator assume?

It assumes constant annual and distance-based percentages. Real depreciation is not constant and may be slower or faster; use the table only to compare your own what-if scenarios.
