Replacement cost
Replacement cost is the amount of money necessary to replace damaged, destroyed, or stolen property with a new item.
For example, if you carry optional replacement cost coverage on your home or renters insurance policy and a TV you bought several years ago is destroyed by a covered occurrence, your policy will pay you enough to purchase a brand new TV that's comparable.
If you have actual cash value coverage, on the other hand, your policy will pay an amount equal to the depreciated worth of your older model television, regardless of how much it might cost to replace it.
