Book depreciation with full years, not tax MACRS, Section 179, bonus depreciation or partial-year accounting.

How this was calculated

Annual charge = (cost − salvage) ÷ useful life.

Never depreciate below salvage value.

How depreciation is calculated

Straight-line expense equals cost minus salvage, divided by useful life. Double declining applies twice the straight-line percentage to opening book value, switching to straight-line remaining cost when that is larger.

Worked example

$30,000 cost less $3,000 salvage gives $27,000 depreciable cost. Straight-line allocation over five full years is $5,400 per year, ending at $3,000.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this schedule directly on a US tax return?

No. This is a book-depreciation model. Tax depreciation can depend on property classification, recovery periods, conventions and elections that are not modeled here.
