After-Tax Value

After-Tax Value

The value of an asset after any applicable taxes on it are paid. For example, if one sells a house for $100,000 but owes $25,000 in taxes from the sale, the after-tax value of the house is only $75,000. This remains the after-tax value whether or not one actually sells the house, which is what differentiates it from the after-tax return. See also: Net Salvage Value.
