How car depreciation works in India
Car depreciation is the reduction in vehicle value over time. In India, resale value is influenced by age, brand reputation, service history, ownership record, condition, insurance history, fuel type, and local demand. A new car usually loses value faster in the first few years, then depreciation continues more gradually.
This calculator uses a simple annual depreciation percentage to estimate how much your car may be worth today and how its value changes every year. It is useful for rough planning, insurance thinking, and resale expectations.
Why this calculator helps
- Estimate what your car may be worth before resale discussions.
- Understand how quickly value declines over the years.
- Compare depreciation assumptions for different vehicle categories.
- Use the table output to see year-by-year value change clearly.
