Private Jet Valuation: What Is My Jet Worth?

A private jet valuation starts with the market, not a list price. TradeMyJet compares your aircraft with similar jets on the market and recently sold, then adjusts for hours, maintenance status, engine programs, avionics and history.

What affects your jet's value

  • Make, model and year
  • Total airframe hours and cycles
  • Engine time and engine maintenance program enrollment
  • Upcoming inspections and maintenance status
  • Avionics, connectivity and interior condition
  • Damage history and completeness of records

Valuation versus formal appraisal

A market valuation tells you what your jet is likely to sell for today. A formal appraisal is a written report often required by lenders, insurers or for tax purposes. We can help with either and explain which one you need.

Frequently asked questions

  • How do you value a private jet?

    By comparing it with similar aircraft currently for sale and recently sold, then adjusting for hours, maintenance status, engine programs, equipment and records.

  • Does an engine maintenance program affect value?

    Yes. Enrollment in an engine program generally supports a higher value because future engine costs are covered.

  • How often do jet values change?

    Values move with market supply and demand. A valuation reflects the market at the time it is done, so refresh it before you list or buy.
