1. What Is A Total Loss Calculation?

A total loss occurs when the cost to repair a damaged vehicle plus any associated fees exceeds the vehicle's Actual Cash Value (ACV). This calculation helps insurance companies determine whether to repair a vehicle or declare it a total loss.

2. How The Total Loss Calculator Works

The calculator uses the State Farm insurance total loss formula:

\[ \text{Total Loss} = \text{Repair Cost} + \text{Fees} > \text{ACV} \]

Where:

\( \text{Repair Cost} \) — Estimated cost to repair the vehicle
\( \text{Fees} \) — Additional fees (towing, storage, etc.)
\( \text{ACV} \) — Actual Cash Value of the vehicle before the accident

Explanation: If the sum of repair costs and fees exceeds the vehicle's ACV, the vehicle is typically declared a total loss.

3. State Farm Insurance Total Loss Policy

Details: State Farm follows industry standards in determining total loss. State regulations may vary, but generally, when repair costs exceed a certain percentage of ACV (typically 70-80%), the vehicle is declared a total loss.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter all amounts in USD. Provide accurate repair estimates, include all applicable fees, and use the vehicle's pre-accident ACV for accurate results.
