How it works

Estimate a vehicle's trade-in value from original price, age, mileage, and condition. Use the units shown in the calculator and review every assumption before using the result.

Formula

Estimated value = original price × age depreciation factor × mileage factor × condition factor.

Worked example

A $40,000 vehicle that is 3 years old with 36,000 miles and good condition produces an illustrative market estimate.

Important assumptions

This tool is designed for planning and comparison. Real-world prices, manufacturer ratings, building requirements, lender terms, electrical codes, tolerances, and product specifications can vary.
