What is Car Depreciation Calculator?

▾

Car depreciation is the loss in vehicle value over time — typically the largest hidden cost of ownership. New cars lose 15–25% in year one and ~50% of value in 3 years.

Calkulon makes complex calculations simple — built for students and everyday problem-solvers.

Frequently Asked Questions

▾

Why do new cars depreciate so fast?

Dealer markup (10–15%), taxes, and the "new car smell premium" vanish instantly. Year 2–5 depreciation slows as you're past the initial shock.

How does mileage affect depreciation?

High-mileage cars (> 15k miles/year) depreciate faster. Standard is 12k/year. Each 1k extra miles reduces value ~$100–150 depending on vehicle.

Do EV batteries affect resale?

Yes. Battery degradation concerns and unknown long-term costs make EVs depreciate faster. A 2018 EV in 2024 may lose value to buyer uncertainty about 200k-mile reliability.
