Why a calculator beats guessing
- Saves time—no long spreadsheets.
- Gives a reference price before buyers haggle.
- Lets you spot deals at thrift stores or garage sales.
Most tools follow simple depreciation formulas (furniture loses value each year). You just enter original price, age, and condition, then see today’s fair value. The Splitwise Blog

How to use a calculator in 3 steps
- Find original price (receipt, online MSRP, or similar listing).
- Count full years owned. Round up after six months.
- Set honest condition. Excellent, good, fair, or poor. Tools drop 10-15% more for heavy wear.
The result is your “fair value.” Want to sell fast? List 5-10 % under that number. Premium brand or fresh refurb? Add 10 %.

FAQs
Do calculators work for antiques?
Not perfectly—use a pro appraiser when age, maker marks, or rarity matter.
How accurate are online tools?
They give a ballpark. Always compare with live Asherfield listings in your city for the final tweak.
Can I embed a calculator on my site?
Yes. Splitwise lets you share their tool; Calculator Academy offers free iframe code.
What if my furniture is custom-built?
Use original material cost + labor, then apply a gentler 10 % per-year drop instead of 20 %.
