Frequently asked questions
- How much does a car depreciate per year?
- A typical new car loses about 20% of its value in the first year and roughly 15% a year after that, leaving it worth around 40% of its original price after five years. Rates vary widely by make and model.
- Which cars hold their value best?
- Trucks, certain SUVs, and a handful of famously reliable models depreciate slowest. Luxury cars, EVs with rapidly improving tech, and models with heavy incentives tend to depreciate fastest.
- Does mileage affect depreciation?
- Yes. Higher-than-average mileage accelerates value loss, while low mileage and good condition slow it. This calculator uses a single blended annual rate; adjust it up for heavy driving.
