Write-off calculator

To calculate a write-off payout, first GET the estimate endpoint above to get the market value (use private.mid). Then calculate:

• Payout = marketValue - deductible - salvage
• Repair-to-value ratio = repairCost / marketValue
• Offer gap = marketValue - insurerOffer

Human calculators: ICBC write-off, insurance total loss, ICBC settlement, car write-off Canada, total loss vehicle value.
