SL: (cost−salvage)/life · DDB: book × 2/life · SYD: (cost−salvage) × (life−y+1)/Σ
Common questions
Which method should I use?
Straight-line is simplest and common for accounting. DDB and SYD are accelerated methods used when an asset loses value faster early.
Can book value go below salvage?
No — depreciation stops when book value reaches salvage. This calculator caps DDB accordingly.
