Actual Cash Value

Definition


Actual Cash Value (ACV): The amount an insurance company will pay—up to the policy’s maximum—when a damaged or stolen insured item is replaced today, after deducting the amount the item has depreciated because of age, condition, wear and tear, and obsolescence. ACV is an amount you could reasonably sell the same item for in its pre-loss condition just before the incident, but never more than the cost to buy a brand-new equivalent.
