Double Declining Depreciation Calculator

Under this method, the asset depreciates at a double rate. And the rate under this method is the straight-line depreciation rate which we calculate by dividing 100% from the life of the asset. This double-declining depreciation calculator calculates the depreciation of the assets with a useful life equal to five years or less.

The formula for calculating double-declining depreciation is:

Double Declining Depreciation = 2 * Total Cost of the Asset * Straight Line Depreciation Rate

For calculating the straight-line depreciation rate, consider the following formula:

Straight Line Depreciation Rate = 100% / Life of Asset
