Formula Used

The MTG Card Value Calculator uses the following formula to estimate card value:

Card Value Formula

Card Value = (Market Price × Rarity Multiplier × Condition Multiplier) + Foil Bonus

Where:

Market Price - The current price of the card in the market.
Rarity Multiplier - A value that adjusts for the card's rarity (Common: 1.0, Uncommon: 1.5, Rare: 2.0, Mythic: 3.0).
Condition Multiplier - A value that adjusts for the card's condition (Near Mint: 1.0, Light Played: 0.8, Moderately Played: 0.6, Heavily Played: 0.4).
Foil Bonus - An additional value if the card is foil (Foil: +$5, Non-Foil: $0).

Worked Example

Let's calculate the value of a "Lightning Bolt" card:

Card Name: Lightning Bolt
Rarity: Rare
Condition: Near Mint
Market Price: $10.00
Foil: No

Using the formula:

Calculation

Card Value = ($10.00 × 2.0 × 1.0) + $0 = $20.00

The estimated value of the Lightning Bolt card is $20.00.
