Understanding Depreciation

Depreciation is the reduction in value of an asset over time due to use, wear, and tear. This calculator uses the straight-line depreciation method, where the asset loses an equal percentage of its value each year.

Example Calculation

If you purchased a computer for $1,200 with an estimated useful life of 3 years and a depreciation rate of 20% per year, the calculator would show:

  • Depreciated Value: $736.80
  • Accumulated Depreciation: $463.20
  • Replacement Cost: $1,200.00

When to Use This Calculator

This calculator is useful for:

  • Estimating the current value of business assets
  • Planning budget for asset replacement
  • Financial reporting purposes
  • Insurance claims for asset replacement
