About the Car Depreciation Calculator

Cars lose value every year they're driven, typically fastest in the first few years. This calculator models that decline as a constant annual percentage (declining balance method).

Formula: Current Value = Purchase Price × (1 − Depreciation Rate)Years

New cars often lose 15-20% of their value in the first year alone, buying a car that's a few years old can avoid the steepest part of the depreciation curve.
