Frequently asked questions
Q.How do we value furniture that is several years old?▾
The calculator takes the original price and depreciates it over the expected lifespan. A 3-year-old couch with a 10-year lifespan keeps 70% of its value.
Q.What if some furniture is damaged?▾
Select the damaged condition option. The calculator reduces the value by 15% to account for the wear.
Q.Can we calculate a buyout for multiple items at once?▾
Run the calculator once per item, then add up the buyout amounts. Or enter the total original price of all shared items together.
Q.What if one roommate paid more for the furniture?▾
Set the ownership share to match the split. If you paid 60% and your roommate paid 40%, set the leaver's share to 40%.
Q.Is the buyout amount negotiable?▾
Yes. The calculator gives you a fair starting number. You and your roommate can adjust it based on your situation.
