valuates

Determines monetary worth

Valuates is a somewhat formal verb meaning to determine or estimate the worth of something: The appraiser valuates properties for estate purposes.

It functions as a synonym for values or appraises, though some consider it an unnecessary back-formation from valuation.

More common in business and legal contexts than everyday speech.
