How the calculation works
Straight-line: (cost − residual value) ÷ useful life. Accelerated methods allocate more expense to earlier years.
Use the result as a planning aid. Check the source records and the assumptions before making financial decisions.
Allocate depreciable cost
The tool uses asset cost, residual value and useful life, with straight-line, double-declining-balance and sum-of-years-digits methods.
Distinguish book depreciation from tax
A book depreciation schedule is not automatically a tax deduction schedule. The appropriate method and useful life depend on the asset and applicable accounting requirements.
