Car depreciation calculator
A car costs money in two ways: the petrol you buy and the value it quietly loses while it sits outside. Most people in Pakistan work out the first and never the second — which is usually the bigger of the two. This puts them side by side.

Where the rate comes from — and why we do not set it
Pakistan publishes no depreciation index. There is no official residual-value table, no regulator doing for resale what OGRA does for fuel prices, and this site holds no price history to derive one from. So the percentage above is your assumption, not our figure, and everything on this page is arithmetic on the number you chose.
That is the same rule the rest of this site follows: the fuel figures name their source on every car page, and where a maker publishes nothing we say so rather than estimate. A depreciation rate presented as typical would be an invented figure dressed as a finding.
What moves it, in roughly the order it matters: how long the model stays in production, how cheap the parts are, whether a facelift has just landed, and the mileage. Two cars bought the same day for the same money can be far apart five years later for no reason other than which badge is on them. If you are trying to pick a realistic number, look at what cars like yours are actually advertised for today — that, not a formula, is the market.
The running cost is a measured figure: the fuel average for the car you picked, at the petrol price above. The ownership cost is your rate applied to what you paid. See this car's fuel figures · work out a single trip.
