Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between straight-line and declining balance?
Straight-line depreciates the same amount every year. Declining balance methods (including double-declining) depreciate a fixed percentage of the remaining book value each year, so more is written off in early years and less in later years — book value never drops below the salvage value in either method.
Can I download the schedule?
Yes — one click gives you a CSV of every year's depreciation and remaining book value.
