Selling your MacBook? Wondering how much it’s worth after a few years of use? Our Macbook Resale Value Calculator is here to help you determine the estimated resale value based on key factors such as the original price, years used, and its current condition.
Formula: The calculator uses a simple formula to calculate the depreciation and, subsequently, the resale value of the MacBook. The depreciation is calculated by multiplying the original price by a depreciation rate based on the chosen condition and the number of years used.
How to Use:
- Enter the original price of your MacBook in dollars.
- Input the number of years you have been using the MacBook.
- Choose the current condition of your MacBook from the drop-down menu (Excellent, Good, or Fair).
- Click the “Calculate” button to get the estimated resale value.
Example: Suppose you bought a MacBook for $1500, used it for 2 years, and it’s in good condition. The calculator would estimate the resale value based on the depreciation rate for a “good” condition MacBook over 2 years.
