CarEdge Depreciation Calculator

You entered the vehicle’s current age and how long you plan to own it. To understand your projected depreciation:
  • Start with the row matching the vehicle’s current age
  • Find the row for the vehicle’s age after your ownership period
  • The difference between those two resale values is your estimated depreciation
Example: If your vehicle is 2 years old and you plan to own it for 3 years, look at the values for 2 and 5 years old.
