Review an advertHow the calculator works
Profit equals resale proceeds minus purchase price and all other entered costs. Return on cash divides profit by purchase price plus those costs.
Your buying ceiling
We take the lowest price limit allowed by your minimum profit, required return and downside tolerance, then round it down to £50. The defaults are £750 profit, 15% return on cash and a £500 tolerated downside loss. These are editable planning assumptions.
What is not verified
The calculator does not check market prices, vehicle history or condition. An AI reading of an advert is not an inspection or a verified valuation. A BUY verdict requires evidence that this beta does not yet have.
What the result excludes
Calculations are before income or corporation tax. VAT and the value of your time are not calculated. Actual selling prices and unexpected repairs can lead to larger losses than your chosen downside.
