How to use it
- Enter the price you paid (or the current value and treat year 1 like later years).
- Typical new cars lose about 15-25% in year one and 10-15% a year after; trucks and some brands hold value better.
How it works
Value after year 1 = price × (1 − first-year rate); each later year multiplies by (1 − later rate). Real values depend on mileage, condition, model reputation and the market.
FAQ
How much does a car depreciate per year?
Roughly 15-25% in the first year and around 10-15% per year after, so many cars lose about half their value in 5 years.
