Deposit calculator FAQ
What is a good deposit for rental products?
A common starting point is a percentage of replacement value, adjusted by product risk. Expensive, fragile, or hard-to-clean products usually need a higher deposit than simple low-risk rentals.
Is a fixed or percentage rental deposit better?
A fixed deposit is simple when products are similar in value. A percentage deposit is easier to scale across a catalog where replacement values vary widely.
