The term '''replacement cost''' or '''replacement value''' refers to the amount that an entity would have to pay, at the present time, to replace any one of its assets.

In the [[insurance]] industry, "replacement cost" is a method of computing the value of an item insured. Replacement cost is ''not'' market value, but is instead the cost to replace an item or structure at its pre-loss condition. Replacement cost coverage is designed so the policyholder who files a property damage claim does not suffer a loss due to depreciation.<ref name="Adjusting Today">{{cite web |url= http://www.adjustersinternational.com/AdjustingToday/pdfinfo.cfm?pdfID=30 |title= The Replacement Cost Claim |accessdate= 2009-09-28 |publisher= Adjusters International }}</ref>
