Depreciation Calculator
Build a year-by-year depreciation schedule for an asset. Choose straight-line for an even spread, declining balance to front-load the expense, or sum-of-years-digits for an accelerated method that still ends exactly at the salvage value.
Which method should you use?
Straight-line spreads the cost evenly, which suits assets that lose value at a steady rate. Declining balance charges more in the early years, matching assets like vehicles that drop sharply in value at first. Sum-of-years-digits is also accelerated but, unlike declining balance, its schedule always lands exactly on the salvage value at the end.
