Used Item Price Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Used Item Price. 

UP = IP - IP * D / 100
  • Where UP is the Used Item Price ($)
  • IP is the initial price ($) 
  • D is the depreciation percentage (%) 

To calculate a used item price, multiply the initial price by the depreciation, then subtract the result from the initial price.

How to Calculate Used Item Price?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Used Item Price.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the initial price ($).
    1. The initial price ($) is given as: 5,000.
  2. Next, determine the depreciation percentage (%).
    1. The depreciation percentage (%) is provided as: 10.
  3. Finally, calculate the Used Item Price using the equation above: 

UP = IP – IP * D/100

The values given above are inserted into the equation below:

UP = 5000 – 5000 * 10/100 = 4,500.00 ($)

Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables needed are provided below:

initial price ($) = 6,000

depreciation percentage (%) = 50

This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer. 

UP = IP – IP * D/100 = ?
