Wondering what a lemon law buyback could be worth? This calculator gives you a quick, transparent estimate based on your purchase price, the mileage when your trouble started, and your state's usage-offset rule. It is a starting point, not a promise — the real number depends on the facts and the law that applies to your vehicle.

Under most lemon laws, a buyback (repurchase) starts from what you paid and subtracts a usage offset — a deduction for the miles you drove before the defect was first brought in for repair. The common formula divides those early miles by a statutory number (often 120,000) and multiplies by the price:
The denominator and the exact remedy differ by state, which is why this tool is an estimate. A real evaluation looks at your repair records, warranty, and state law.
This calculator provides a rough, informational estimate only. It is not a quote, an offer, a guarantee of any recovery, or legal advice, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship. Actual lemon law buyback and settlement amounts depend on the specific facts of your case, your vehicle's warranty and repair history, and the lemon law of the state that applies, including the usage-offset formula, which varies by state. Attorney's fees may be recoverable separately under applicable law such as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2301 et seq.).
