Quick answer

Gadgets lose value fastest: phones about 25–30% a year, laptops 20–25%, TVs 15–20%, and fridges, ACs and washing machines about 10–15%. A ₹60,000 phone after 2 years in good condition is worth roughly ₹29,000–₹34,000 on resale. Excellent condition with the box and bill adds value; dents, battery wear and missing accessories cut it.

How to use this calculator

  1. Pick the item and enter what you paid.
  2. Enter its age in years.
  3. Choose its condition honestly.
