  • Provides an estimate only — condition, mileage, and market demand affect actual resale value.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work for bikes, trucks, and commercial vehicles too?

Yes — the declining-balance formula applies to any vehicle type; just adjust the annual depreciation rate to match typical rates for your vehicle category.

How is this different from the Car Depreciation Calculator?

Same underlying formula — this page uses general "vehicle" framing and defaults suited to two-wheelers/other vehicles, while the Car Depreciation Calculator defaults to typical car figures.

What depreciation rate should I use for a commercial vehicle?

Commercial vehicles often depreciate faster than personal vehicles due to higher usage — check industry benchmarks or your accountant's depreciation schedule for a more accurate rate.
