The TWO main ideas on how to calculate depreciation: Straight Line Depreciation Declining Balance Depreciation
Straight Line Depreciation original cost – residual value years of life of the asset (Straight line depreciation spreads the use of our asset evenly over the amount of time it is used.)
Declining Balance Let’s say we bought a car… does it lose its value evenly?
Declining Balance With declining balance, we take off a certain percentage each year. Year 1 Depreciation = 30% * $100,000 car = $30,000
Declining Balance Year 2 Depreciation Undepreciated Value of $70,000 x 30% = $21,000
Declining Balance Let’s look at a depreciation schedule… 30% is taken off each year
Compare! (Straight Line vs. Declining Balance)

Note Note: Depreciation With the exception of Land, all fixed assets are expected to be ‘used up’ over a certain period of time. These assets decrease (or depreciate) in value. Methods of Depreciation Straight-Line depreciation divides the price of an asset over its useful life. (minus its salvage or residual value) Declining Balance method decreases the value of an asset by a pre-determined percentage each fiscal period.
The following ‘Depreciation Schedules’ compare the two approaches. Declining Balance
