#### Formulas Used

Replacement Cost Value (RCV): The current cost to replace an item with a new one of similar kind and quality, regardless of age.

Actual Cash Value (ACV) — Straight-Line Depreciation with Floor:

depreciationFactor = MAX(minResidual, 1 − (annualDeprRate × ageInYears)) ACV = RCV × depreciationFactor totalDepreciation = RCV − ACV

Net Insurance Payout:

netPayout = MAX(0, coverageValue − deductible) where coverageValue = RCV (if RCV policy) or ACV (if ACV policy)

Recommended Coverage Limit:

recommendedCoverage = totalRCV × 1.10 (10% safety buffer)

Annual Depreciation Rates by Category:
