Two methods, one schedule
Depreciation spreads an asset's cost over its useful life, and the method changes the shape of the expense. Straight-line splits the cost evenly each year — simple and common for furniture, fittings and equipment. Written down value (declining balance) applies a fixed percentage to the remaining book value, front-loading the expense — the approach the Indian Income Tax Act uses for most asset blocks.
This calculator produces the full schedule for either method: opening value, depreciation and closing book value for every year, so you can drop the numbers straight into your accounts or compare methods before choosing.
Depreciation calculator FAQs
Annual depreciation = (cost − salvage value) ÷ useful life. A ₹5,00,000 machine with ₹50,000 salvage over 5 years depreciates ₹90,000 per year.
