About this tool
Estimate a laptop's resale price from purchase price, age, condition, battery health and remaining warranty.
A laptop resale value estimator projects what a used machine is worth today by applying declining-balance depreciation to its original price, then adjusting for condition, battery health, accessories, paperwork and remaining warranty. The model uses the pattern consumer electronics actually follow: a steep first year of roughly 35-40% loss, then about 20-25% a year after that. It reports a private-sale point estimate, a realistic asking range and the lower figure a trade-in programme is likely to offer.

Separates the steep first-year drop from the slower decline afterwards, instead of one flat rate.
Uses the 80% service threshold that makers themselves flag as the point a battery needs replacing.
Shows both numbers, so a low buy-back offer is easy to recognise.
Typically 35-40% of its purchase price. Depreciation is steepest immediately after purchase because the model is still on sale new, and it flattens to roughly 20-25% a year after the first twelve months.
Yes, and the cliff is around 80%. Most makers, Apple included, flag a battery for service once its maximum capacity falls below 80% of design capacity, and buyers price in a replacement from that point, which is usually a few thousand rupees plus labour.
Keep them if you can. The invoice is what lets a buyer transfer remaining warranty and prove the machine is not stolen, and listings with full paperwork consistently close faster and a few percent higher than identical ones without.
Because the buy-back company has to test, refurbish, warranty and resell the machine, so it works on a margin. Expect a trade-in or exchange offer around 70-75% of what a patient private sale would fetch. Treat both figures here as informational estimates, not quotes.
