Vehicle Depreciation Calculator

Project how much your vehicle will be worth over time. Depreciation is the single largest cost of owning a vehicle - often more than gas, insurance, and maintenance combined.

Typical Depreciation Schedule:

• Year 1: 15-25% (steepest drop)
• Year 2: 10-15%
• Year 3: 8-12%
• Year 4-5: 8-10% per year
• Year 6+: 5-8% per year

Factors That Affect Depreciation:

• Vehicle type and brand reputation
• Mileage (high mileage depreciates faster)
• Condition and maintenance history
• Market demand and economic conditions
• Fuel prices (affects demand for gas guzzlers)
• New model releases (can decrease demand for older models)

Note: This calculator uses industry averages. Actual depreciation varies by brand, model, market conditions, and individual vehicle condition.
