Acv

ACV is an acronym with multiple meanings across different domains, including food and drink, insurance, business metrics, and electrical engineering.

In food and beverages, ACV commonly denotes apple cider vinegar, a product produced from fermented apple juice or cider. It is typically about 4–6% acetic acid and is used in cooking, flavoring, and some traditional remedies.

In insurance, ACV stands for actual cash value, which represents the current value of damaged or lost property after depreciation is taken into account. It is the amount typically paid out for a loss, as opposed to replacement cost value, which ignores depreciation.

In business and sales, ACV is used as a metric for revenue. Most often it denotes annual contract value, the yearly recurring revenue generated by a customer contract. Some contexts use ACV to mean average contract value, the average revenue per contract across a portfolio.

In electrical engineering, ACV can mean alternating current voltage, referring to the voltage present in an AC circuit. In practice, the term “AC voltage” is more common, but ACV appears in some technical documents and specifications.

The meaning of ACV is usually inferred from the domain and context in which it appears.
