Finance: Car Depreciation and Residual Value

Auto Culture Society

Depreciation and Residual Value Calculator UK

Model best case, expected, and worst case depreciation. Use either an expected resale value or depreciation rates.

Inputs

Car name Purchase price £ Ownership term months Annual mileage miles How do you want to estimate residual value

Expected resale value at end £ Uncertainty band percent

Best case and worst case are generated around your expected resale value.

Practical way to estimate resale

Search current listings for the same model at your end of term age and mileage. Use an average advertised price and be conservative. Depreciation is not a prediction, it is a sensitivity test of your assumptions.
