Depreciation calculator সম্পর্কে
Depreciation spreads an asset's cost, less its expected salvage value, over its useful life. Straight-line charges the same amount every year, (cost − salvage) ÷ life. Declining balance applies a fixed rate to the book value left, so charges fall year by year; double declining uses 2 ÷ life. Sum-of-years' digits weights year t by (n − t + 1) ÷ (n(n + 1)/2), and units of production charges a fixed amount per unit made.
With the defaults, an asset costing 50,000 with a salvage value of 5,000 and a 5-year life, straight-line depreciation is 9,000 a year, 20% of the depreciable amount. Double declining balance would charge 20,000 in the first year and sum-of-years' digits 15,000; every method writes off the same 45,000 in total.
These are book-accounting methods. US tax depreciation follows MACRS recovery periods and conventions in IRS Publication 946, which this schedule does not apply.

How do you calculate straight-line depreciation?
Subtract the salvage value from the cost and divide by the useful life in years. An asset costing 50,000 with a 5,000 salvage value and a 5-year life depreciates by (50,000 − 5,000) ÷ 5 = 9,000 a year, leaving a book value of 5,000. Excel's SLN function does the same: SLN(30000, 7500, 10) = 2,250.
How does double declining balance depreciation work?
Multiply the start-of-year book value by 2 ÷ life, and stop when the book value reaches salvage. For 50,000 over 5 years the rate is 40%: 20,000 in year 1, then 12,000, 7,200 and 4,320, and 1,480 in year 5 to land on the 5,000 salvage. With zero salvage the rate never reaches zero, so companies switch to straight-line when it gives a larger charge.
Which depreciation methods does IFRS allow?
IAS 16 names straight-line, diminishing balance and units of production, and asks for the method that reflects how the asset's benefits are used up. It does not list sum-of-years' digits, and paragraph 62A prohibits methods based on the revenue an asset generates.
How does depreciation work for US taxes?
Most business property uses MACRS (IRS Publication 946): cars are 5-year property, office furniture 7-year, residential rental buildings 27.5 years and nonresidential real property 39 years. Personal property is depreciated at 200% declining balance switching to straight-line, with a half-year convention unless more than 40% is placed in service in the last quarter (mid-quarter), and real property uses mid-month.
What are the Section 179 and bonus depreciation limits?
For 2025, US businesses can expense up to $2,500,000 of qualifying property under Section 179, reduced once purchases exceed $4,000,000; for 2026 the figures are $2,560,000 and $4,090,000 (IRS Publication 946). Bonus depreciation is 100% for qualifying property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025.
