1. What is the Flat Resale Value Calculator?

The Flat Resale Value Calculator estimates the future resale value of a flat based on depreciation over time. It uses a standard depreciation formula to project how the value of your property will decrease over the years.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the depreciation formula:

\[ Resale Value = Original Price \times (1 - Depreciation Rate)^{years} \]

Where:

\( Original Price \) — Initial purchase price of the flat (USD)
\( Depreciation Rate \) — Annual depreciation rate as decimal (e.g., 0.05 for 5%)
\( years \) — Number of years since purchase

Explanation: The formula calculates compound depreciation over time, where the value decreases by a fixed percentage each year.

3. Importance of Resale Value Calculation

Details: Understanding property depreciation helps in financial planning, investment decisions, and determining the right time to sell your property for optimal returns.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the original purchase price in USD, annual depreciation rate as a decimal (e.g., 0.03 for 3%), and the number of years since purchase. All values must be valid (price > 0, depreciation rate between 0-1, years ≥ 0).
