Formula used

This tool estimates a resale value, then computes depreciation-based ownership cost with hybrid-specific adjustments.

  • Effective cost: C = Purchase − Incentives
  • Book value schedule: chosen method with salvage floor S = C × salvage%
  • Mileage adjustment: Penalty = max(0, miles − baseline) × rate
  • Mileage credit: Credit = max(0, baseline − miles) × rate
  • Hybrid premium: Premium = BookValue × premium%
  • Adjusted resale: R = BookValue − Penalty + Credit + Premium
  • Expected battery reserve: B = BatteryCost × BatteryRisk
  • Total depreciation cost: D = (C − R) + B + SellingCosts

Present value discounts the yearly schedule, the battery reserve year, and end-of-term selling costs.
