Depreciation Schedule

Build a year-by-year depreciation schedule from cost, salvage, and useful life.

Illustrative sample (250k cost · 25k salvage · 5 years SL). Not financial advice.

Asset inputs

Cost, salvage, useful life, and method. Declining-balance uses the DB rate you set (e.g. 200% = double-declining). Persist locally · Jump to results

Capitalised acquisition cost

Estimated residual at end of life

Whole years

SL = equal annual; DB = rate × opening BV

e.g. 200 for double-declining

Year schedule

Depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and closing book value by year.

Equations

  • SL annual = (Cost − Salvage) ÷ Life
  • DB annual = Opening BV × (DB% ÷ 100 ÷ Life), floored at salvage
YearOpening BVDepreciationAccum. dep.Closing BV

How this is calculated
  • Straight-line spreads (cost − salvage) evenly over useful life
  • Declining-balance applies DB% ÷ life to opening book value each year, never below salvage
  • Final year pulls book value to salvage when needed
