How to calculate ACV?

ACV is calculated by subtracting the depreciation from the replacement or original cost of the item. The depreciation is usually calculated by estimating a useful or expected life of the item and calculating what percentage of that life remains.

Actual Cash Value Formula

The ACV formula is given below:-

ACV = r * (e - c) / e

Where:-

• r = purchase price of item
• c = current age of item years
• e = expected life of item years
Example

To know how much your car is worth right now, you can calculate it's Actual Cash Value as follows:-

• r * (e - c) / e
• 71400 * (8 - 2) / 8
• 71400 * 6 / 8
• 428400 / 8
• ACV = 53,550
