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)
