💡 Practical Example
3-year-old Refrigerator originally purchased for $1,200 (12-year lifespan, good condition): Annual Depreciation = $1,200 ÷ 12 = $100/yr. 3-Year Depreciation = $300. Current Depreciated Value (ACV) = $1,200 - $300 = $900.
📖 About Appliance Depreciation & Actual Cash Value (ACV
Appliance depreciation measures the decline in value of household equipment over its useful life due to wear, tear, and age. Insurance companies use actual cash value (ACV) formulas when reimbursing property damage claims.
To use the Appliance Depreciation & Actual Cash Value (ACV) Calculator, enter your Original Purchase Price / Replacement Cost, Appliance Type, Appliance Age and other values. The calculator instantly computes Current Depreciated Value (ACV), Total Depreciation Loss and more. Results update in real time as you change any input — no submit button needed.
How to Use This Calculator
Enter your Original Purchase Price / Replacement Cost (e.g. 1200 in ), Appliance Type — choose from Refrigerator / Freezer (12 Year Standard Life), Washing Machine (10 Year Standard Life), Clothes Dryer (12 Year Standard Life), Appliance Age (e.g. 3 in years), Custom Lifespan (if Custom selected) (e.g. 10 in years), and Condition Rating — choose from Excellent / Well Maintained (+10% Value), Good / Normal Wear & Tear (Standard), Fair / Visible Wear (-10% Value). Results update instantly as you type — adjust any value to compare scenarios.
The Formula
Straight-Line Depreciation = Original Price ÷ Expected Lifespan (Years)
Actual Cash Value (ACV) = Max(0, Original Price - Depreciation) × Condition Factor
Worked Example
3-year-old Refrigerator originally purchased for 1,200 (12-year lifespan, good condition):
Annual Depreciation = 1,200 ÷ 12 = 100/yr.
3-Year Depreciation =
300.
Current Depreciated Value (ACV) = 1,200 - 300 =
900.
