A professional guide to accounting and tax treatment of fixed assets.

How to use the depreciation calculator

  1. Select the tax jurisdiction and fixed asset category, such as buildings, vehicles, machinery, computers, or furniture.
  2. Choose a depreciation method, or use the statutory rate suggested by the selected country and asset type.
  3. Enter the asset cost, estimated salvage value, and the date the asset was placed in service.
  4. Choose a monthly or yearly schedule, then generate the depreciation report.
  5. Review depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, net book value, and automated journal entries.

Practical example

If a company purchases machinery for 100,000 with an estimated salvage value of 10,000 and a 10% annual depreciation rate, the calculator helps allocate depreciation expense across periods, track accumulated depreciation, and calculate net book value until the end of useful life or disposal date.

Frequently asked questions

Is land depreciated?

Usually no. Land is generally considered to have an indefinite useful life, so it is treated differently from depreciable assets.

What is the difference between straight-line and declining balance?

Straight-line spreads depreciation evenly, while declining balance records higher depreciation in earlier years.

Are tax rates final?

No. Rates inside the tool are educational estimates and may change. Verify official rules before filing or making decisions.

Can I calculate asset disposal?

Yes. Enter a disposal date and proceeds to estimate gain or loss on disposal and related accounting entries.
