Collection Item Value Estimator

Estimate the current market value of a collectible item based on its purchase price, age, condition, rarity, and category-specific appreciation rates.

Your estimated value will appear here.

Formula

Step 1 – Base Appreciated Value:
baseValue = purchasePrice × (1 + annualRate)age

Step 2 – Rarity Multiplier (logarithmic, 1–10 → 1.00×–2.00×):
rarityMult = 1 + ln(rarityScore) / ln(10)

Step 3 – Condition Adjustment:
conditionedValue = baseValue × conditionMultiplier

Step 4 – Rarity Adjustment:
rarityAdjusted = conditionedValue × rarityMult

Step 5 – Provenance / Authentication Bonus:
estimatedValue = rarityAdjusted × (1 + provenanceBonus / 100)
