How This Tool Works
Enter what you paid, what it’s worth today, and how long you’ve owned it — the calculator works out your annual rate of value loss based on your own vehicle’s history, not a generic industry average. It then compounds that same rate forward across your chosen future years, so the projected value reflects the fact that depreciation slows down over time instead of dropping in a straight line.
FAQ:
Cars typically lose the most value in the first couple of years and then level off. A flat yearly dollar amount would understate early losses and overstate later ones. Compounding the rate mirrors how resale values actually curve over time, so the future estimate stays realistic even several years out.
Quite a bit, since every other figure is built from the gap between your purchase price and current value. If you’re unsure what your car is worth today, check recent listings for the same make, model, year, and mileage in your area before entering a number, and the estimate will be much closer to reality.
